        I mean, technically, you can always use hardware, even if it’s been bombed to shit with malware. Just never connect it to any sort of network, never transfer files from that PC with bidirectional channels and never use that PC’s hardware anywhere else.

        Thats why they’ll be a good deal.

        The hardware is the same as several other brands, and none of them have come up bad. Ultimately it really does look like someone either got got on the image they cloned from or maliciously inserted windows spyware into it. Either way it’s nothing a flatten and reinstall won’t fix.

        Hell, if the windows keys are legit you don’t even need to use the oem reinstall media.
