You'll need to go through the computer manufacturer, not best buy for this.

Re: MS License refund

Microsoft or Best Buy have nothing to do with Windows license refunds.  AFAIK, you would have to contact the OEM; which rarely results in success and is a complete waste of time for a mere $25-30 when you consider the time and effort spent.

What Products Are Not Eligible for a Refund?

Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) software preloaded on a PC (contact the PC manufacturer)

Taken from willen's link.

Echoing that with seekrtz post, I concur it's basically not worth your time anyway.




If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.

I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.
