FAQs

Can I upgrade the RAM on this PC?

The Zoostorm Evolve comes with 16GB DDR4 RAM. While theoretically possible to upgrade, specific compatibility with available slots and module types would need to be verified. Consult the system's manual or Zoostorm support for detailed upgrade paths.

Is this PC suitable for gaming?

This PC is equipped with integrated Intel graphics, making it suitable for casual gaming and older titles. For demanding modern games or professional graphics applications, a PC with a dedicated graphics card would offer a significantly better experience.

Does it come with a monitor, keyboard, or mouse?

Typically, desktop PCs like the Zoostorm Evolve are sold as the tower unit only. Monitors, keyboards, and mice are usually purchased separately unless specified in a bundle. Please check your purchase details.

How do I connect to Wi-Fi?

During the initial Windows 11 setup, you will be prompted to connect to a Wi-Fi network. If setting up later, go to 'Settings' > 'Network & internet' > 'Wi-Fi' and select your network from the list, then enter the password.

Can I install additional storage?

The Zoostorm Evolve comes with a 1TB SSD. Depending on the internal chassis design, there may be physical space and connections for an additional 2.5-inch SSD or 3.5-inch HDD. It is recommended to consult the product manual or support for specific upgrade options.

What version of Windows does it come with?

The Zoostorm Evolve Desktop PC comes with Windows 11 Home pre-installed, providing a modern and efficient operating system experience.

Troubleshooting

PC will not power on.

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the PC and the power outlet. Try a different power outlet or power cable if possible. Check if the power button light illuminates.

No display on monitor.

Verify that the monitor is powered on and correctly connected to the PC's video output port. Try a different video cable or monitor if available to isolate the issue. Ensure the correct input source is selected on your monitor.

Slow performance or freezing.

Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) for processes consuming high CPU or RAM. Ensure Windows and drivers are up to date. Run a system scan for malware or viruses.

Wi-Fi connectivity issues.

Restart your router and modem. On the PC, disable and re-enable Wi-Fi from the Windows settings. Ensure your Wi-Fi drivers are updated. Check for any physical obstructions between the PC and the router.

System makes unusual noise.

Unusual noises often indicate a fan issue or dust buildup. Power off the PC and carefully inspect the internal fans for dust accumulation. Clean with compressed air. If the noise persists, contact support.
