Getting started on my Oculus Rift DK2

Hi there.  I just purchased an Oculus Rift DK 2 thinking it was a bargain but I have since found out that I cannot download the software for it and I will not be able to operate anything from the Store.  I'm also having a hard time getting the feature that lets you know what ports should be plugged in on the computer.  If you could give me a few tips I would appreciate this.

Thanks.  I bought this on ebay second hand.  Turns out the cable that connects the headset to the computer doesn't work, (the HDMI one) so I got a refund (the software wasn't sensing the attachments of the cable).  However, the dealer let me keep the item so I have it for free.  Hoping to get another cable for the DK2 if at all possible.

If he let you keep it then I'd say he knew it was buggered 😞

She didn't know. It was sealed and in the box.

Was all the lenses and wires in the sealed wrapping mate ? Have you tried an older runtime to double check if it works OK?

I'm yet to unbox mine ...I have read up on runtime switcher and hoping I can experience older titles such as alien isolation...is this even possible with dk2 now ? 
Cheers
