Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?
The RAM in this 27-inch iMac model is user-upgradable, typically through an access panel on the back. Storage upgrades are more complex and generally require professional service.

The GF GTX 660M graphics card is an entry-level discrete GPU for its era. It can handle older or less graphically demanding games but is not suited for modern, graphics-intensive titles.
What peripherals are included with the iMac?
A generic mouse and keyboard are included with the iMac.
How should I clean the screen?
Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth, lightly dampened with water, to gently wipe the screen. Avoid spraying liquids directly onto the screen or using harsh cleaning chemicals.
Does this iMac have a built-in optical drive?
No, this iMac model does not include a built-in optical drive. An external USB optical drive would be required to read CDs or DVDs.
Can I connect external monitors to this iMac?
Yes, you can connect external monitors using the Thunderbolt ports. You may need specific adapters depending on the input type of your external display (e.g., Mini DisplayPort to HDMI or DVI).
Troubleshooting
iMac won't turn on.
Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the iMac and a working power outlet. Try a different power outlet. Press the power button firmly.
Slow performance or applications freezing.
Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check your storage space by going to `Apple menu > About This Mac > Storage`. Restart your iMac. You can also run Disk Utility from macOS Recovery to check for disk errors.
Wi-Fi connection issues.
Restart your Wi-Fi router and modem. On your iMac, go to `System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi` and ensure Wi-Fi is turned on. Try forgetting the network and rejoining it. Ensure you are within range of your 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi network.
Generic mouse or keyboard not responding.
If wired, try plugging them into a different USB port. If wireless Bluetooth, check their batteries and ensure they are paired correctly by going to `System Preferences > Bluetooth`.
Display flickering or unusual colors.
Restart your iMac. Check `System Preferences > Displays` for any unusual settings. If the issue persists, contact support.
