Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher Program

Our Certification = Your Peace of Mind

Norris Systems is proud to be a Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher. This means that we are licensed to preinstall genuine Windows XP software licenses on refurbished PCs.

Only legitimate, well-established refurbishers can become MARs. MARs are either major OEM refurbishers headquartered worldwide, or other refurbishers headquartered in the United States and Canada that meet Microsoft's strict eligibility requirements.

By purchasing refurbished PCs and laptops your company will be able to realize significant savings compared to purchasing brand new computers. When you purchase from a MAR, you have the added comfort and convenience of a licensed, legitimate product that is eligible for Microsoft customer support.
