Received yesterday, and machine seems good so far overall but the wireless keyboard leaves something to be desired. The keyboard does not have a Function Lock key and in Windows 10 it is locked to "On." If you need to use the F keys for an application as I do (Bloomberg) this is a major inconvenience, as you have to depress the Fn key each time to get the F keys to work as intended. Amazon support told me to turn the computer off and on and when that didnt work to contact HP (thanks a lot), who then told me it required a BIOS change and to call their HP advanced support team which would help me for a charge. Found several things online about how to do it but apparently there is no option in the BIOS in certain HP models to turn off Action keys the way there is in their laptops, and with the other manufacturers. Thankfully I have a Bloomberg keyboard I can use instead but if you use the F keys regularly for a program, or even want a number lock key on the keyboard (have to use the virtual keyboard to toggle that) then you need to either try your own keyboard or choose a different computer. The amount of time spent on this due to HPs lack of support (without charging for it), and the silliness of removing functionality like the Num lock keys and having no way to change Fn key lock, is disappointing for what seems like a decent desktop otherwise. Also, the only thing included is a quick start guide, given the unique composition of the keyboard would have expected at least a key for that. Bottom line, since I liked that it came with a wireless keyboard and mouse, wouldve chosen another option.
