If your Mac has Windows on it, either it was not properly refurbished, or it's a fake and not really a Mac at all. See if you can get it into Recovery Mode:


Erase your Mac and reset it to factory settings - Apple Support


If you can, erase the Mac and start fresh. If you can't get it into Recovery Mode at all (either standard Recovery Mode or Internet Recovery), then most likely either it's defective or it is indeed a fake.


Regards.
