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.

    What should I look out for as far as those security features?

    I specifically want to run the Sims 2 with a 20+ gb mod folder, which idk how well that would work with proton.

      Still, it’s probably worth going with either 7 or 10.

      Also, if it’s registered with InTune (or whatever it’s called nowadays), it may be under company control even after a completely clean install. You can easily check though.
