I was at home in the Corona lockdown last year and got a laptop during my (vocational preparation year). However, I had no way of bringing it back and now it has been lying around with me for a little longer than a year. Nobody answered. Now my question is whether I can reset it and keep it or whether I'll get in trouble about the police and such. Besides, I'm not there anymore and am doing a fsj
So you got the laptop from school? No, then I wouldn't make any changes to the device or assume that you can keep it…
Can you reset them at all without a password or something similar?
You should ask those who made it available to you. There are enough people who need him more urgently than you.
It's strange that you're just scared of the police instead of thinking about those who keep calling for help because they can't afford a device for their children.

No, get in touch with them
Of course, you just have to reload Windows.

As long as the BIOS does not prevent you from doing that (deleting is always possible) ^^

Yes, otherwise the school chair becomes a fire chair ^^
The respective position wants to do you something good and provides you with the appropriate hardware, B. Financially not in good shape or similar. Everything is good and nothing is objectionable, but what is wrong is that you are already thinking so boldly about something that does not belong to you and is therefore not your property to declare as yours. In my eyes it is already theft.
If you still want it, you may be able to ask if they'll sell it to you. So you would eventually acquire it in a legal and legitimate way and only then can you call it your property.
A leasing vehicle does not belong to you either, although it is on your doorstep and you only drive it. A property in which you live for rent also not…
A. It is not your property
B. That is theft
C. If the lenders are not completely stupid, they have set a password which prevents you from installing a new Windows or something similar.
D. Is the device registered with the serial number?
E. That would be correct of you.
Note… Would definitely do well to steal something at the beginning of your professional life and possibly get an advertisement.
Be fair and give it back and get written confirmation.
