I found a laptop on eBay classifieds that was sold as "defective". The seller said that you can no longer change the partitions on the hard drive and reinstalling Windows did not help.
I got the laptop thinking I could fix it. But now the SSD in the laptop, which can't be exchanged, is defective. There's also no Windows installed on the laptop, as can be seen in the description and in the pictures. You can't install Windows either. In the pictures, the seller had a hidden hard drive with Windows connected to the laptop via USB.
Can I return the laptop to such a private sale on Ebay Classifieds? Can you show how the laptop runs with Windows on the pictures on offer, but then sell it without Windows?
Yes, of course, you may not have many pictures according to the end product, the description was clear and it was also said that it is defective, your chances are 0

My idea is the following,
since you bought the laptop with the idea of repairing it, why don't you do that too.
The prerequisite is a laptop at a not too high price, plus a 500GB hard drive or SSD. And
1 operating system.
If you have a key, you can still download and install Windows 10 today.
If you don't have that, you can work with Linux, for example Ubuntu.
As for the key, if it's not there, you could try to negotiate to get it to compensate for the optical illusion.
In your endeavors you should also calculate how much effort you have to spend in order to determine beforehand what you have to ask for in order to come out without any loss.
If that is not possible, you should see this as an object of study and consider whether you are offering what you would have liked to have been offered.
In addition, a data recovery would be conceivable or a recovery CD that even contains the key.
In order to then make a profit, you could think about your own PC, what preparations you have to do for a data loss due to your own defective hard drive
or SSD or other damage in order to reliably get back to a functioning system.
PS I can't think of an SSD that can't be replaced.
what kind of laptop is that and all the details please.
If you bought with PayPal you will get 100% of your money back
Simple answer: no chance!
the device was clearly described as defective. And if the seller has run the wrong window on the external hard drive, you can still "assume" that he did so to demonstrate that the device is running.
somehow i can't imagine that the drive in the device is not replaceable. So look again to see if you don't get exchanged. That would reduce the "damage".
