I worked for a shady evil company, and when they illegally fired me, I never ended up returning a laptop - thinkpad running windoze.

Let’s say I wanted to put Win 8 or similar on it so I can play some video games. What would potentially be barriers to doing this? Said evil company is hopefully going out of business soon, and is a clusterfuck anyway, so they might not end up asking for it back.

    I would wipe the disk so theres no shady things, depending on what games u play, i would install linux and use encryption if you would take this laptop to public places. Performance on linux will be much smoother. I recommend endeavouros.

    EDIT: also reinstall bios/uefi firmware would be nice, probably not but there might be some spying?
