I know from experience that the laptop can not be used again even if you format and reload the operating system, a completely new laptop is required to avoid detection.
amazon are able to identify the windows OS installed on the computer in combination with hardware. if OS is reinstalled the combination changes and amazon would not be able to link it to the computer of the suspended user anymore
alternatively different OS can be used , they are only able to do this with windows as it has holes which they exploit

Amazon can detect computer hardware from previous banned seller accounts, irrespective of reinstalling an operating system. There are ways around it but reinstalling the OS is not the definitive solution, that is how the seller of Amazon accounts on here works around it.

they can't do it if the OS is removed because they need windows for this
