Need to upgrade and could please do with some advice on a suitable PC. I've had an HP7700p Compaq MiniTower for more than 20 years and didn't want to upgrade but esp since  W10 it really is so slow for me now and as I work on it all day I need to get a faster model.

This PC has been great as I've been able to get by without a PC engineer and we live out in the sticks on a limited income. The ability to run three hard disks and easily swap them round has proved to be very useful. I want to stay on W10 and guess with wifi and bluetooth but if there was a choice between that and three disk option would choose the 3 disks.  (I have bought loads of sata connection devices but never been able to get any of them to work properly. Also three Transcend 1TB external drives and a Seagate 3TB which have all failed, so I've kind of gone off SATA connectors and external drives, etc.) 

I do prefer a tower and been looking at an HP EliteDesk 800 GS TWR but not sure if this would be the best choice for me?

 

I would be very grateful for any advice. Thank you.

@ASH2755,

 

Welcome to our HP Community Forum!

 

Any of the HP EliteDesk 800 G1 / G2 / G3 Towers (TWR) would be great/affordable options.  Look around in eBay-UK and see what your budget allows.

 

Kind Regards,

Just bought a G3 and very pleased at the price which was only £100 for a top spec. 

Such a relief as it's going to be so much easier for me now. Should have changed before but it seemed like too big a hill to climb but I guess now is  the right time, and it was easy.

 

Thank you.
