Hello!
Not sure if this is the right place, so if there's a better, please let me know, but I have a Lenovo think center that I acquired that I want to use as a simple home server, got an i5 6700 in it, may need some tweaks, but should be good. My problem is it came from a now defunct company and it wants my corporate email to download the profile. This is after I tried to factory reset it and delete all of the items. When I turn it on it asks for my corporate email, when I try to type iny Hotmail it says it's wrong and gives me the option for a security key USB. I've downloaded the win 11 installer onto a flash drive, but it jus goes straight to the corporate login request. I can get to bios, but admittedly I'm not sure what to do from there, as I'm not seein the proper options.
Any suggestions on how to flash this so I can use it for Plex, Valheim, Minecraft, and personal storage would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I have a pair of hdds imma use for the storage, am I other thinking this and just need to toss the original hdd?
Try it. Remove the original drive and see if the login prompt still appears.
Use a live Linux CD/USB but do not install it and wipe the drive with command "shred -uzv /dev/sda" or whichever the drive is. Use partition manager to check the label for the drive to securely wipe it.
