Hi have a Samsung laptop running on windows 7 professional, it one I no longer need. I don’t have any discs to make it back to factory setting, any idea what I can do with it, cash wise I probably think it’s not worth selling.

No problem, fingers crossed for you. At least it's free, so nothing ventured nothing gained eh?

Worst case dismantle it into parts , screen , keyboard , power supply , ram etc and sell individually on eBay . You will raise much more than selling as a wholeEx forum ambassador
