[sf-lug] bought used lenovo laptop with windows; never registered; can i request refund?

[Brian Morris]

I am not a pc man, but isn't there a sticker on it with an authenticity
number ?

I am pretty sure this number can be cancelled so as to make what you have
if you retained it an unauthorized copy that could not recieve security
patches or updates.

I believe I have seen this after-the-fact, someone told me it was a
business leasing type license discard.
