    New windows install on locked surface pro with USB's disabled


    Trying to help a friend whose company bought some hardware from a company that went out of business. They have a surface pro running windows 10 that was not unlocked, it boots to windows but they do not have accounts or admin password. USB's are disabled. Is there anything they can do to get a new windows 10 copy installed, or is this just a brick?

    :)
