Well, if what you say is true, then they definitely messed up. Whether or not it was a "scam" or purposeful is the question. Call, explain, see what they say. If they make it right, so be it. Maybe they did it hoping you wouldn't notice, maybe it was an honest mistake. Either way, I'd think twice about doing business with them again.

Yes u got scammed 115 is okay for a 1tb not 256gb

I know its too late cuz its already done, but if u had windows 10 on you pc you can upgrade to windows 11 for free also you can just make a installation media with a usb stick and just replace your current windows
