    Also since I bought this Surface on a garage sale it seems to have belong to some company of which I appears that they have put a lock in the hard drive to prevent tampering . Maybe I should look into replacing the hard drive and start from scratch.

    • @chrisray929
      @chrisray929 2 роки тому

      Depends on what you mean by blocked.... if you can do a clean install (method 2) then they havent locked the drive or bios and after the reset you're good. If they have a lo-jack installed on it (like Absolute or such) that is a completely different thing.... if they know you have the device, and it's not just "lost" or something, they would probably release it for you. They have to pay for a subscription, per device, to use such a service.
