HP Compaq 6200 Pro Microtower PC
Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

I have a Hp Compaq 6200 Pro with windows 10 Pro. I realized after it arrived that it's refurbished unfortunately. I want to check if the specs are what they say they are. Im a PC nubbie obviously! I used the key command Ctrl+Alt+S to bring up the hp info screen but it doesn't bring up anything at all . Should I be suspicious? and is there a simple way to accomplish this for a dummy??

I would return it if it was advertized as new but delivered as "refurbished". I would read that as fraud.

 

I have bought refurbished PCs for relatives before, but I made sure that I bought them from a source that was reputable(NewEgg.com).  One of them is still in use five years later.
