[QUOTE="Cortex, post: 894540, member: 54432"] I've sorted quite a few laptops out often for users working at home during lock-down, most in excess of 5 years old some much older all have accepted windows 10 with no trouble - All have a third part AV either KIS/Norton/F-Secure Safe - Some I've added a SSD most with a reinstall & careful setup removing unwanted items starting at boot run beautifully - I haven't done benchmark tests but they all are stable & pleasant to use (you don't need benchmarks to know how a system is running) - I suppose if I were HP & selling new laptops I would give a low MTBF too, but that really is rubbish with bells on, good reason to avoid HP if that's their opinion? :rolleyes::rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
