Set up a new exhibition laptop?

I went to the Media Markt yesterday and bought the Omen 17 gaming laptop there. But it was an exhibition piece, because thanks to Corona nothing will be delivered. When I wanted to use it today, a "Detlev Wagner", an obvious fake account, was already registered. I could open the screensaver from Media Markt and uh yes. But when I wanted to put it back I couldn't…

I thought I would ask here because Media Markt only opens at 10

And would I have to reinstall Windows then?

If you still have a second pc on site, just create an installation medium and reinstall Windows cleanly

If I got a PC with 100th people fumbling around, I would first treat the record with dd and then set it up again. Who knows what dirt any jokers left behind. Did you get a Windows key when you bought it?

Don't worry I did that. Especially at this time you are pretty paranoid haha

Not that I know of. But I thought it was pre-installed. After all, I had a consultant with me all the time who explained everything and said what I need and such.

I would do that anyway, I mean reinstall Windows.

Who knows what snot is on the laptop.

If you did "it" (that is, put it on again), then I do not understand the question

And would I have to reinstall Windows then?

A consultant

I read dork wrong and thought you generally mean clean up woops

Dd is a Unix tool with which you can write any values on the disk. It is therefore very useful to completely overwrite it with 0 and to safely delete all data. There are no consultants at the media market, only sellers.

Simply reinstall it using a Windows 10 stick. Since there's already Windows 10 on it, you don't need a key. You simply specify "I don't have a key" during the installation. Microsoft saves the hardware signature and as soon as you connect to the Internet it is recognized and Windows is activated.
