I would not hesitate to purchase a used or "refurbished" computer. The one thing I would always do is either replace the storage drive(s) or reformat them and then reinstall the Windows OS. If the computer is relatively new (last five years or so), and it had a licensed version of Windows 10 or 11, then the Windows install should pick up the digital license automatically. You can get a new SATA 500 GB SSD or NVME M.2 SSD for about $25 or a 1TB for about $35.
