how do u have so many
ppl will often throw out perfectly good computers and then when u open it up its something quick and easy to fix… like the hard drive not being properly installed or windows having shat itself
or theyll say its slow and then when u turn it on its running windows 10. like OBVIOUSLY its gonna be slow when you have windows absolutely blowing its load all over your CPU and ram… give the poor thing a rest and put linux on it man
ofc therell be the rare moment where shits actually fucked and youd have to know extremely advanced repair techniques to even salvage it but for the most part all you gotta do is find listings by people who dont know SHIT about computers
