Looking deeper too. eBay especially.

I've bought "refurbished" optiplex models from Newegg with SSDs pretty cheap.

One that wasn't supposed to have an OS came with Win10, or was that my Lenovo laptop? 🤔

Regardless. The Win 10 was already logged in.

BIG RED FLAG.

Wiped it back to factory install, and no security concerns.

yeah that's why I specifically try to buy the ones without hard drives in them. I just plop in a hard drive and spin up Debian and call it a day.
