Hi, I just bought a new pre built system for gaming and dont have a lot of time on my hands due to kids and rl to research stuff anymore. I have a Benq XL2411z monitor and have just bought this system

Scan Gaming PC G56i, Intel Core i7 6700, 16GB Corsair DDR4, EVGA GTX 1070 SC, 240GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Win 10

Few questions,
Best way to connect it to my monitor (HDMI.....VGA???)
Do I need to do anything and what is the freesync thing to get it setup?
Settings only allow me maximum 60hz, sure I used to have it set higher, is this right pr do I want it higher and how can I do this?
Got win 10 home, should I upgrade to pro, benefits for gaming or system speed?
Any other reasonably simple tips of things I should do to make the system better for gaming?

Any help would be much appreciated, afraid im not that clued up on pc and gfx stuff anymore?
 
Solution
404 on that link but use HDMI 3.0 or Display port for best results. Frequency you can set up from GPU driver if it's capable of it.
Home is just fine for games, it's just missing some networking parts comparing to Pro.
