I purchased this as a simple backup for my laptop because I lost my previous desktop to hurricane Ian, I'm79 years old an not used "apps" driven systems having used windows 7 so longthis computer has no HDMI port for the monitor, it comes with a dongle installed in one of the usb ports & another one in an envelope but nothing that uses a dongle, it also includes a one page "user guide" entitled "activation &recovery instructions" which says "activation requires internet access" followed by a set of very confusing steps 1-6 on how to activate or recover the operating systemI have never purchased a computer where I had to activate the operating system, not sure I want to try itgoing to have to send this one back
