A break from some recent Oracle stuff for me, today I’m acting as some kind of laptop mule, the previous owner passed it to me, my task was to take it back to a fresh installation of Windows and prepare it for its new owner.
I have a brief verbal walk around the laptop, talk about some of the interesting features and show how to use Windows Recovery to clear out the user space and prepare a fresh installation for a new owner.
I kind of like these devices, they’re not as good as the Surface Duo line of mobile devices, in my opinion, but they are, or were really unique, mostly due to the way that Microsoft tackled the hinge, which is unlike anything else that I’ve seen on a laptop.
