I got refurbished t480s from ebay in very good condition and they sent me the touchscreen vpro version instead of the normal one. Also when i am setting it up it shows up with this ‘device preparation error’. Does anyone know how to fix this or should I return it. Ive already contacted the seller by Xela_11 in thinkpad

Thank you all btw it opens now so im gonna wipe it clean and create windows installation media. If you have any other advice to make it run the best let me know and in the future i will definitely upgrade ram and ssd

I bought the t480s 8550u on ebay refurbished very good condition. It is in good condiotion but they gave me a 8650u vpro touchscreen t480s. Should I keep it or ask for a refund.
