Old Samsung laptop

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.

I think I’ve sorted it, googled and YouTubed the problem and it seems to be installing, thanks RumRat

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 whole

I would have imaged it to an SSD first and kept the Win7 as Win10 might make it so slow as to be useless.

You will probably need more RAM and some careful setting up to disable stuff you do not need to make it usable.
