    It will be good as new, a laptop isn't going to deteriorate physically because of lack of use, the opposite is true in fact.

    Should be grand really. They'll probably be a few windows updates to install, sure turn it on and leave it idle a few hours then restart and you should be up to date.

    Change the glow plugs and filters if it’s a bit slow starting up.
