My computer pick of the day (maybe the week!):
HP ProDesk 400 G9 - $399.99
- Intel Celeron CPU
- 8GB RAM (expandable to an incredible 64GB!)
- 256GB SSD storage
- built-in WiFi
- HDMI and DisplayPort outputs (supports 2 monitors)
- keyboard and mouse included
- Windows 11 Pro

Who is this BEST for?
- someone who maybe already has a Windows 7 or 8 machine (maybe 10) and needs to upgrade to Windows 11 to stay updated
- someone who doesn't have a TON of pictures/videos, etc
- someone who just needs a "faster" daily "everyday usage" machine (kids, paying bills, small office computer, etc)
- someone who doesn't have a big budget for a "new" computer
- great gift for someone who needs a "newer computer" (looking at you, Dad), but doesn't need or want to spend a lot of money

All in all, not a bad, brand NEW, HP desktop computer for only $399.99 - amzn.to/45BXoAR

Big shocker, my appeal was denied. Apparently, I'm not allowed to show Windows users how to legally download software they are ALREADY licensed to use on machines they ALREADY own. Just for fun, do a search on YouTube for "download Windows 7 ISO" and SEE how many of the *exact* same videos are not "violating community guidelines" for telling viewers the SAME exact steps and processes. I am not pleased. *rant over*

Sorry folks, the YouTube has (for some crazy reason) taken down my video about how to safely get older Windows ISO files for re-installation - I have appealed their decision and hopefully they will realize that it was NOT a violation of community guidelines, as it was an informative, educational and LEGAL topic! Not sure what they think I do on this channel, exactly ..but we shall see!

For my UK viewers, asking about how to get "English - UK" during my recent Windows 11 upgrade video, here's Microsoft's solution for you: UK users - if you don't have the option for "English - UK', Microsoft suggests using English - US to keep your files and settings; you can then go back and add English - UK as your standard language after upgrade is complete. Best I got for you right now :)
* UK users not able to select English - UK:

Just had a viewer pay over $1,700 for a different brand, EXACT same specs from a local box store! I could have saved him over $400 if he had only filled out this FREE computer recommendation form: forms.gle/6hsvxDGpUFifH4WF8
