i bought a what seemed “too good to be true” type of deal, but not really knowing about computers and how much they should cost, i went ahead and got it. my problem is that i think i purchased a stolen computer. it’s a dell 2.2 hertz tower something? i paid $400 for it used. i got it from a friend, who said he bought them from a guy he knew who was selling them for a major corporation who was upgrading. i guess i didn’t ask about “The guy” since we we’re dealing with a “corporation??” i tried upgrading the software on it and it wouldn’t allow me to do so. something about it not being able to identify or verify the authentication. so i’m not sure if the software is the bad part, or if it’s both hardware and software? i’m rather concerned now.
my dilema is this:
i don’t have enough to purchase a new computer and OBVIOUSLY i don’t want to get into trouble. can anyone with similar experience help me or advise me on what i should do??
