Buyers beware - there is a high risk of buying from stock

Bought second hand from Revain which I've been mostly happy with, I've heard a lot of bad stories about people getting ripped off Stock deals but also heard that many get both new products for a good discount. I personally love warehouse deals. At least until now. I suspect someone sent it back because it was defective, non-functional and dangerous.

Windows 11 requirements

, My new system is 3 months old and it is an excellent Windows 10 system, fast and easy to use. no TPM. Check via WIN-R, then run tpm.msc. I couldn't find anything in the TPM documentation, and nothing on the web. Finally I found an answer posted on another motherboard forum: Go to UEFI BIOS and select ADVANCED. Then select PCH-FW. Turn on PTT there. Voila! He's being tested. Well, nowhere in this sequence or in the manual is "TPM" mentioned. I removed one star from the five star rating due to…
