Pc guard cards in laptop?

I have a question. There are these Pc guard cards that you install in the Pc and reset the Pc after each restart. Can you also install these cards in a laptop? If yes how?

No, laptops have neither space nor a necessary interface for it.

Hi
many thanks. Then I will use a software solution (Pc sheriff).

This depends primarily on the design or the connection of this card. 20 years ago I had something like a PCI card… Was called "PC Sheriff". The problem will be that you will hardly find an internal slot for such a card in a notebook. No idea if you can misuse the internal slot for WLAN cards… Or if there's a card for this purpose with such a connection.

I think the prospect of success in this regard is slim.

But there are also pure software solutions for something like that… They do not require an additional card. Often used in so-called kiosk systems, e.g. Public Internet PCs in libraries, etc. Or in classrooms.

It is possible that the above PC sheriff now also exists as a pure software solution… I actually thought the card was unnecessary at the time and assumed that it was just a capped software dongle… Especially because the card also serves as a connector for the external parallel Port (sic!) And you only needed it to install and / or uninstall the software.

After a restart, the system is reset to a previously defined state. Under the hood, it's nothing more than a backup image that is restored every time you start it. Typically, the software creates a hidden partition on the hard drive where the image is stored.

Microsoft itself offered something similar at that time for WinXP…

Then I look forward to clicking on "Helpful" and / or "Thank you" ;-)

Thank you for your detailed answer. I found a software solution. The pc sheriff. Unfortunately, of course, it doesn't sit as well as a guard card.

Both are already clicked.
