I've seen brand new computers not come with CD or DVD drives anymore, perhaps that is what the salesperson meant.

I bought it, should be here Friday!

Cororon, Thanks! I understood 'some' of that.

RadicalChick, That is great to hear. Thanks for confirming what igazor suspected.

KevinL5275, Could be. We had already discussed that I would be installing with an external drive but we'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

puzzlezaddict, Thanks for the input

Are you used to liquid cooled computers, and how often you should replace the distilled water in it? Or maybe it's a closed loop system?

Cororon, It's closed loop so I won't have to mess with any of that. BTW ... hi!! Nice to 'see' you.

Good! And hi!

Quick update: I got the new computer, the bottom of the case was broken so I returned it for a refund. However, the computer did work and the disc installed just fine on Windows 11.

Good going Best Buy. Where's that facepalm emoji?

If you want to talk hardware, let me know.

puzzlezaddict, Thank you! And I absolutely will. Right now I'm sick of it and going to wait awhile as I've got a couple of busy months ahead.
