If you cannot figure out the little button with a circle and a line is power, how do you think you are running windows? If you cant do that, then plug it in and push each button one at a time - observe which one makes it do something and write it down...

I mean I think everyone should have a computer but there are limits....

and this sounds sketchy to me - are you sure its not lifted from somewhere? No manual, the "friend" cant be bothered to help you with the power button? I only hope they had a boot password ...

Well it would be that easy if the print wasn't rubbed off of some of the keys. And next time if I ask a question, you can keep your rude insulting comments to yourself.

No the friend can't be reached because they are out of the state dealing with an un expected family deaths, they lost 3 family members in a car accident. Would you want to bother them at this time?
And I also know for a fact it was not lifted!

I mean I think trying to make someone feel stupid and being rude should also have limits.
