Woo hoo! That looks like a great machine. It's very similar to one that I ordered on 7/6/21. Now I'm at Stage 4 (assembly started.)

I'm glad to hear that your time estimate was even shorter than mine. It sounds like things are speeding up a little. Yay!

Originally posted by Cretae You will get great performance from that machine. A good idea to use Windows wizard or third party software to partition your primary drive down to the size you need for Win, your apps, browser, and maintenance software. That way, you won't lose everything on the drive if you have to re-install Windows. Primary drive scans and back-ups will be expedited, and easier to maintain. Just something I think is a good idea with a drive that size.

Thank you very much for this suggestion! I never knew this was possible, and I will definitely be doing this!
