    I bought a laptop from a school I no longer attend and factory reset and wiped it to remove...


    I bought a laptop from a university in 2021. I transferred to a different school. The school told me I would lose access to my account in a few days and I need to reset my laptop. I reset the laptop and wiped everything I don’t need including the locked user account. The laptop won’t let me sign in with any credentials other than work or school, which no longer work. What can I do to reset the entire computer and remove the work and and school credential requirement to use this machine?

    :)

    Factory Resetting my laptop?

    The main issue is that my Lenovo laptop's speakers no longer work because a pseudo-IT Dude at my high school didn't actually know how to fix it and wound up using up even more space on my drive with who knows what. On top of that installed drivers that don't
    work. So: speakers don't work and I can't reset to factory settings or do a hard wipe of the laptop because there is "not enough disk space" to execute the Factory Reset.

    How do I free up space to execute a hard wipe/reset of my laptop? I would prefer this over just fixing the audio first
    because of all the extra junk this guy installed.

    Wiping Old School Computer

    So i tried to factory reset my old school computer to wipe it fresh. But when it restarted it was still forcing me to sign in with my school account. How to I fix this so I can make it like a brand new computer with no school settings.

    Factory Reset Image

    So i bought this used Asus Tuf laptop (FX505DT) and it looks like the previous owner clean wiped the ssd and installed the new window 10 on it. But when i rested the laptop again , i had to install the sound and wifi drivers because they were not getting installed when i freshly installed the window again. Anyway my question is, can i somehow get the factory reset copy of the window which the previous wiped out so i dont have to install all the drivers from the asus support website whenever i factory reset the laptop again? TIA
