      Yup, exactly what they said. But I didn’t know any better at the time. These days I would just fix that myself rather than send it to them

        Yeah, it’s a once in a lifetime thing lol, but it’s better to put that out on the off chance someone reading it may have to send one in.

        I hate to say it, but unless they’re corporate machines or you put it together yourself, computers are basically disposable these days.

        I mean if you already bought the computer, they’re really just giving it back to you and I’m pretty sure you can just download it.

          I was mostly being snarky. Windows only comes preinstalled if you buy a full setup. All my stuff is either Mac laptops or custom towers so I always have to acquire a new windows license when I setup a new build for myself or my partner

            No, yeah I was just being snarky too. I guess builders(probably gamere) are the only real retail windows buyers lol
