Am beholding the wonder of a new PC. First such purchase in 8-10 yrs

and it's just this side of astonishing how much stuff MS wants you to sign up for, buy, install, etc. Game of Thrones was already on the Win10 desktop when my new Acer first powered up.

It's also eye-opening to see how much more is automatically handled than the Lenovo did in 2011 0r 2013 when I bought it.

And the Acer is jackrabbit fast. When I copied files and stuff from my Lenovo to my new Seagate external hard drive a month or so ago the transfer went pretty quickly, Multiply that by 10 for the same act between the Seagate and the Acer. Zipzap 200+MB/s transfer rate.
