Manual with Refurbished Laptop?

Grateful for some advice please.
I have bought a refurbished laptop from Argos Ebay outlet but it doesn't have a manual with it. Is this usual? I emailed a query asking if one should have been included but the reply was to contact the manufaturer whic hisn't appropriate.
Should I just download one from the internet?

    Go to the manufacturers website you would usually find one there and can download it.

    Assuming you mean no printed manual, they're often pre-installed on the laptop as a PDF-have you checked?

    Many new machines only have an electronic version pre-installed.

    FYI A large percentage of Argos refurbished PCs are simply customer returns which they are unable to re-sell as new if the packaging has been opened.
    How do I add a signature?
