oh ive been there lol business models are often built for years of daily use, with sturdier hinges, good keyboards and easy access to the battery, RAM and SSD. A good refurb from a reputable seller can be a great buy... the main check is…

Descriptor Request Failed means the device didnt answer Windows properly during setup, so its usually power or signal, not drivers. Plug it directly into a rear motherboard port, not a hub or front panel, and try again. fingers crossed 🤞

Check for VPN or security software leftovers. Network filter drivers from old VPN clients can break traffic after a network driver update. Look at the adapter's Properties list for extra filter entries u don't recognize. lmk how it goes
