Windows 7 was a perfectly good operating system, better than the newer versions in some respects, and I had a few important applications that would not run on anything else. This was the ideal system for them. It arrived well ahead of schedule and after a few hours of configuring for my preferences and doing the "Windows Update" a bunch of times everything was running smoothly. The system appeared to be like new. It was safely packed and there wasn't a scratch or a speck of dust to be seen. Something like this makes a perfect, low cost system for people with limited requirements (and limited funds) and I highly recommend it. I may just get another to keep as a spare.
