Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

Hi all
I have bought a HP Thin Client from eBay and it is totally locked down.

 I am hoping that someone can direct me to where I can find a Windows 7 embedded image for a HP T5740e Thin Client.
I have searched the HP site and they dont keep archive images and I have tried to use the HP thin update tool, but there are no 32 bit W7 images

I would prefer to flash a W7 embedded factory image, but I cant find one. (If you know where I can find an image – that would be amazing!)
Failing putting it back to factory default, can anyone help me unlock it? Is it possible to remove all the security and scripts that run when it is turned on?

I have administrator access, but I dont know how to unlock it from there?

Hoping that someone on here can help me  🙂

start by reading the available HP documentation , also note the available OS this model supports

also read the link below for some useful information

the system was available with a customized HP version of  Windows 7 Embedded (standard) and by any stretch of the imagination  is quite OBSELETE due to the hardware limitations of it's onboard Atom processor but you appear to have a need for this hardware so try the links below
