    I know the Rufus software.

    So you’re saying you installed windows from a selfmade installation medium, that you further had to massage, without internet connection? That’s not really an option on our work laptops.

    I actually also did this to some machines; I gave them to their respective owners right away so I don’t know if they have no ads.

      Yes fortunately I had the bios password, so I was able to manage it. I work remotely. To IT it just looks like the machine vanished. They haven’t asked me about it.

        You know this is more than enough reason to fire you once your IT department finds out

          Been here more than 20 years and my whole department does it. The computers are unusable otherwise. If I were sitting in an office it wouldn’t be possible, but they have a BYOD policy which allows for this kind of use.
