My new HP Compaq Windows 7 is so different then my Compaq XP. It has taken me a while to find where everything is. So different. Like I told my daughter windows XP is friendly and windows 7 isn't. You have to have time to learn where everything is. Also with this computer the book that comes with it doesn't explain much. To bad they don't have a book like I got with my Compaq windows XP seven years ago..

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Bought this computer Jan. 12 201. On February 1, It stopped working. Two hours on the phone with tech support to find the hard drive has failed. Next day, 1 1/2 hours on the phone to repeat last nights tests. Conclusion, bad hard drive. They are supposed to be sending me a new hard drive with recovery disks. I hope I am able to install this drive. Personally, I feel that they should send me a new computer. If this does not solve the problem, they WILL be sending me a new one. I will never buy HP again.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
