Note: after a fresh install, your machine might not have the drivers for the track pad, wireless card yet (i.e. you need a usb mouse, an internet cable to connect your laptop to the router). Everything will work correctly (trackpad, wireless card ...) after you update everything in Settings | Windows Update. That's what happened with my MSI Cyborg laptop.
Selling your laptop and buying a new desktop are also very good: it's a way to put more money in the economy which will help the economy which is in a very bad situation now.

Regarding Costco return policy on computers, [they only provide a 90-day return window for computers](https://customerservice
Before going into the Intel CPU stuff in detail this chip is not known to be affected by the burnout issue.
Regarding the ongoing Intel CPU failure debacle, yes it is very real and yes Intel has acknowledged the issue finally. Intel has responded with a software update although it's not entirely clear yet if the update completely resolves the issue. It's important to note that Intel has extended its warranty for the affected chips from 3 years to five years, and this covers both boxed chips as well as OEM installs like the item in this deal. Again, this chip is not known to be affected by the burnout defect, so it is not on the list of CPUs covered by the warranty extension, but it would be reasonable to assume it wpuld get similar treatment if the issue turns out to be more widespread (which seems unlikely at this point). Information about the Intel warranty extension can be found here: https://community.intel
All in all I probably wouldn't be too worried about the reliability of this CPU, but personally I would avoid any of the known burnout models like the plague. And I say this as someone that has built my own PCs using exclusively Intel chips for 15 years.
but the 4060 - I might out grow.. so if one want to upgrade to 4070 I'm assuming it's doable..
Q: Would replacing just the 4060 work or any other component ( mother board or supply ) require upgrades as well. ?
