I have a weird question. I just got a refurbished laptop recently from a company. It has two windows 7 pro stickers with keys on them. One is the "windows 7 pro for refurb pcs" sticker and code, and the other is the original windows 7 COA sticker. One is just on the bottom panel of the laptop, and the other one is underneath/behind the battery. I have two questions:
1) Do you know why a refurbished laptop would come with two COAs for Windows 7?
2) Why do companies that refurbish pcs have to purchase another key just for refurbished PCs if the PC already has an original COA?
3) Both of the keys are different. Are they somehow linked to each other?
Thanks, just curious since this is the first time I've had a laptop come with two keys on it for the same OS.
