Hello guys, I decided to buy a used laptop from a person so can you tell me what should I check before buying the laptop? As we know, there are a lot of scammers nowadays so this is just a precaution for me..
Thanks
-Verify the OS is activated and genuine. If original Windows 7 install, ensure the license key is readable on the bottom. If it is an OS that he installed, (7 or 8) ensure you get the license key, COA, and install media
-Open Disk Management, and verify the size and type of drives
-Does it make any odd noises?
-Be safe
And when you get it home,
you do a full wipe and reinstall of the OS. Even if he said he did it 5 minutes before you got there. For your protection as well as his.
