Possitive buying experience - Sucessful upgrade
598927
I was looking to upgrade a desktop computer the kids use in the house.
Was an AMD 3500 , I wanted to upgrade to a multi-core CPU.

The order through Amazon went smooth.
Delivery was what was indicated at time of purchase (3-5days).
The CPU was in a sealed AMD box.

The upgrade as smooth as removing the old cpu/fan and
installing the replacement.

An overall possitive buying experience.

I'm not a tech expert, but I found installation to be simple and the functional improvement on my old machine to exceptional.  In fact, even though my computer was just a little over a year old, the jump in performance from a standard hard drive to a solid state drive was remarkable.  Start up and shut down are much faster and performance in every application has increased.  For the price, I think this is an excellent upgrade.

Waiting on rebate for the last 3 1/2 months!  Be careful sapphire@help. 4myrebate.com will not respond to emails.
Video card is great.

Threw into a Playstation 3 and downloads and game LOAD times have improved significantly. The upgrade process is best left to someone with intermediate computer knowledge.

Upgrade with confidence.. time saved is money earned

I am a QuickBooks user for  many years when it was the 99 version. My last version upgrade was 2009.  After avoiding the any upgrades for years, I upgraded to windows 10 and decided that it was better to also upgrade the accounting software.

With much trepidation I could not get the 3 user pack so I had to buy 3 separate disc versions of the 2016 to network them. 2 at office (networked) and 1 at home which is what I have been doing for the past 14 years.

As usual, I read all the negative reviews (more honest and real) and then decided to bite the bullet.

Shipping was fast as usual from amazon.

Installation: at home first-no problem, upgraded the company file and worked easily, much improved interface, faster smoother and faster back up,

Now to the office; No problem, smooth upgrade, networked and worked without a problem. Intuitive, easy to figure out as an old user, my secretary had no problem with the upgraded software. No training necessary!

The ability to attach scanned invoices and any bill or paper to cheques or invoices is a blessing for record keeping. Bounced cheques can be easily tracked. Had one so far in about 6 months.

Back up is significantly faster and so is the software.

The new layout is very informative, tracking payment for the day, grouping  payment history of customer or vendor, calendar, snapshot, bill tracker, etc really nice.

Emailing of invoices without having to use intuit servers, what a joy to use!

One Concern: I saw a QB dataserviceuser19 user as a user on my system and since I did not authorise it, I deleted the user.

Word of advice
DO NOT DO THAT, I was immediately locked out of the system and had to reinstall and reboot to regain access.
If this can be explained  it would be helpful.

One problem- when I back up the company file, I do not see the scanned attachments in the restored file unless I go to the original computer that I had scanned it on. I can see there is an attachment and the name of it but the actual image is not backed up.

If this can be changed so the actual file can be backed up as an option as well then I would say 5 stars. For now **** stars.

Ignore the naysayers.

A very good upgrade well done intuit !

UPDATE 2017-08-20  NOW I am feeling it!
BEWARE that QB accountant 2015 will not work with this version, You need QB accountant 2016 or later. Guess what? Intuit does not sell 2017Qb accountant just so! Your accountant needs to register with THEM! He needs to do their exam, to be able to buy Quickbooks accountant 2017! He needs to be a "certified  QB advisor" and pay a yearly $349 and can only use it with ONE computer!  LOL...Is this LEGAL?  Sounds like what Microsoft did with IExplorer years ago. No wonder I could not find a later version than 2015 on Amazon.  I now have to send my original backup file to my accountant, do nothing while he works on it, then import it..I am now back to the old days of TIME WASTING and VERY VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Guess what? If your accountant does NOT want to be a Qbadvisor  or you need to access more then ONE computer you get to call a special number and pay $499.00 ( maybe). PURE corporate GREED and exploitation. I guess the naysayers were right after all! VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Upgrade from Vista or Windows 7 is flawless - from XP is work.  I recommend this OS for those that are familiar with Windows 7.

THE SELLER DID A GREAT JOB. HE WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE PRODUCT I ORDERED
AND UPGRADED AT NO EXTRA COST. THE SHIPMENT WAS PACKED WELL
 AND ARRIVED ON TIME. HE CONTACTED ME ON TRACKING UPDATES TO LET ME
KNOW WHERE THE PACKAGE WAS . ALL IN ALL, HE DID A VERY GOOD JOB.

The 1 GB upgrade really speeds up the system, including Windows start-up and shut-down.  The hardest part of the process was finding the motherboard manual to determine which PCxx00 chip to use.  The second hardest part was opening the case.  I had to remove the video card since it was somewhat in the way of my fat fingers, but I basically plugged in the chip and I was done (< 1 minute)  The price was the best I could find for 1GB, not to mention free shipping. BTW, the chip type was also printed on the existing RAM chip, so if you don't have your manual handy, pull the old chip and see.

I too was concerned about some of the reviews indicating serious problems with this upgrade, but I needed some of the Business options, so I ordered this upgrade, and obtained an Anytime Upgrade disc from Microsoft.  The Amazon license key purchase was nearly instant, and I made sure that all applications were turned off/shut down (esp. the "quiet" ones in the toolbar), and I was NOT running antivirus, as those programs are known to interfere with system-level activities.
  Also, I had a clean install of HomePremium that was only about a month old, so I suppose the system was still pretty "clean".  I also allowed the installation program to search for updates before beginning, and it downloaded a large file, then started installation over again.  These are NOT Windows Updates -- after it was all done, Windows Update installed 37 additional Recommended updates, and I chose another five or so of the Optional ones.
  The only glitch I ran across was during the first restart -  Windows was not able to shut down, and I couldn't shut it down from menus either.  I finally powered the system off, and when I powered back on, it went back into Setup and continued the process. Subsequent restarts occurred without incident.
  It does take a few hours, as advertised, and I did back up my personal folders and settings just in case.  Ultimately (no pun intended), all my programs and settings were preserved, and I'm back up and running Vista Ultimate, which is the version I should have bought in the first place.

With the expiration of Win XP, I needed an upgrade for my old HP, despite it being a dual core system. The program loaded fine, and has performed without issues for the past month. I know it is tough paying for a system upgrade, but at least Win7 was still available, and I didn't have to invest in a new machine.

There appears to be unresolved bugs in handling of downloaded transactions.  There are not significant changes in features over 2014.  I would wait to upgrade until these bugs are fixed.

This was a great buy, it plays everything I want, the design is cool plus I have room for upgrades. The mouse and keyboard that came along with it are fantastic. I gave it a 4 of 5 because I had an error with the Windows activation key, I just emailed tech support and waiting on further notice to see if they can resolve it. 11/16/2015.

I will edit and post updates once I get feedback! *Update* Tech support was outstanding,replied in a timely fashion, including visual aids to show you specifically what you need to do.

I can play games like Battlefield 4, H1Z1, Star Wars The Old Republic all in high settings. I will keep updating on games I will be trying out in the future as well. I plan on trying out Shadow of Mordor, and see how it performs. I tried out Dying Light, but the game plays best in performance mode, it was chugging in high graphics. I plan on upgrading the video card at some point too, and I can update and suggest what would be good for this PC when it comes to upgrades as well as any games I plan on trying out.

1/11/2016 I upgrade my graphics card to GTX 960 and my power supply to support that card. Everything runs so beautifully with the updgrade, granted the motherboard is tiny compared to the card, but it runs fine, I have literally no issue of overheating. I need to get around to some cable management to get the side of the chassis back on, but other than that it runs like a true champion. I saved a ton of money getting this on sale when it was, along with the graphics card and power supply. It can run and support a lot of games out there right now but either on the recommended or low quality side. Still a great start pc, but I needed something on the fly and essentially only needed to upgrade two items, and it worked out for me and hope it will for others.
