How do I install Windows 10 Pro on a refurbished laptop that is running Windows 11 Pro?
Can refurbished Windows 10 PC sellers legitimately sell PCs with Windows 7 licenses that were freely upgraded to Windows 10?
Reinstalling Windows on a Refurbished Laptop: Recovery Partition Considerations - looking for advice
First time buying a refurbished laptop, what should I check for?
I bought a used laptop from eBay. It is currently running Windows 11 Pro - it came like that. The sticker on the bottom says "Windows 10 Pro for Refurb PCs" and "COA for Refurbished PCs only - no commercial value". How do I get Windows 10 Pro on the computer? I've tried looking up details but it's confusing to me. I've read about someone trying to install Windows 10 Pro and getting Windows 10 Home instead: Windows 10 Pro for refurbished PC - Microsoft Community I watched a youtube video on downgrading from 11 to 10, but that didn't include details about refurbished PCs. I don't understand how product keys work or what a default key is or what it means to have the operating system key built into the BIOS. I don't want to mess the computer up by blazing ahead without knowing what I'm doing. So please, if you could explain or point me to a webpage that covers the topic, I would be grateful!
