    Hi Kunnaway,

    This issue may occur if the operating system is not installed properly. I would recommend you to do a clean re installation of Windows on this refurbished hard drive and then check.

    Please click on the link below, choose the operating system that you want to install and follow the steps. Make sure before the installation( On the Where do you want to install Windows window)  you delete all the partitions and install the windows on the unallocated space.

    Note: Re-installing the operating system erases ALL existing data. This includes files, folders, programs, drivers, E-mails, photos. Before performing a PC Restore, back up all personal files. If you do not back up your personal files, the data will be lost. 
    Please reply for any further issues.
