For any used PC, your first move should be a full wipe and reinstall of the OS.
If the store did not give you the necessary bits to do this, they did not sell you a valid OS. Time to buy your own.


Does it have a factory restore option when you boot it? If not, you need to find a Windows disk and use the key on the laptop to activate it. Disk and key have to match versions.
