Product FAQs

Is this refurbished device reliable?

Yes. At MicroDream, every refurbished device is fully tested; any faulty parts are replaced; and it’s professionally cleaned and inspected so it performs like new. Many customers say it looks brand new despite being refurbished.

Does it come with Windows pre‑installed?

Yes. All compatible MicroDream refurbished PCs include a genuine, fully licensed Windows operating system pre‑installed — ready to use straight out of the box.

What if I’m not satisfied with my purchase?

We offer a 30‑day money‑back guarantee so you can buy with complete peace of mind.

How experienced is MicroDream?

Since 2009, MicroDream has supplied refurbished computers across the UK — over 15 years of experience behind every device we sell.

What does “Grade A” condition mean?

Grade A means the device works like new and has no visible cosmetic imperfections when viewed from about 12 inches (≈30 cm) away. Most customers say our Grade A units look brand new.

Is there a warranty?

Yes. Every MicroDream Certified Refurbished device includes a 12‑month limited warranty as standard. We also offer free returns on orders above £100 and will arrange collection of any replacement or repaired item.

Who is covered by the warranty?

The warranty is non‑transferable and applies only to the original end purchaser. An original or copy of your sales invoice is required for warranty service.

What is covered by the warranty?

In the unlikely event of a hardware fault, you can return the device for repair or replacement (or an equivalent product) within the warranty period.

What about the battery?

All batteries are tested and confirmed to be in good working order at the time of sale. We will replace any that fail within 30 days of receipt. Beyond 30 days, battery wear is considered normal use and is not covered by warranty.

What is not covered by the warranty?

The warranty does not cover: normal wear and tear; misuse; accidents; unauthorized repairs; modifications; software issues; or accidental damage such as broken screens or liquid spills.
