    cant install windows on 2nd hand laptop, can admin lock the device permanently?

    Which method to remove the "Dell-ness" of a 2nd hand laptop.

    Hello Paul Black
    Thank you for that info ... just tried out Belarc on main machine and worked very well to give license key so next step is to do same for 2nd hand one.
    Will then go for clean install as per guidance ...
