Solve : Converting work computer for personal use? |
|
Answer» Hello, I resigned from my employer recently and they let me keep their computer. I worked for a MAJOR Car and Home Insurance company. My login to the network is going to expire soon and I will not be able to use the computer anymore. I need to know how to erase all of the administrator stuff and convert everything to normal personal use before the login expires. Can you help?Desktop or Laptop ? ? Depending on the Model it may have a hidden factory restore partition which would cost you nothing to use. AKA don't try to wipe it just yet.The computer is an HP Elitebook 8460p with Windows 7 Gold Disk 7.1.2 LTIQuote from: landfilltim on May 23, 2013, 12:05:31 PM Windows 7 Gold Disk 7.1.2 LTIWhat is Gold Disk 7.1.2 LTI? If you open Computer, do you see a drive labeled RECOVERY (D:)? If so, then you can use it to restore the computer to its original configuration. Here's a reference on the procedure for a Dell computer: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-boot-into-a-recovery-partition-in-windows.navId-323028.html. The procedure is basically the same for an HP system but the F KEY may be something other than F10 or F12, which are mentioned in the article. With my old HP COMPAQ laptop, F11 was the key. |
