Product: Zbook Firefly 15 G7
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

I purchased a brand new laptop directly from HP's student store two days ago. I received my laptop today and tried to install Linux on it. The reboot was unsuccessful, as it required me to input a Intel password. Upon Googling and calling customer support, it was verified that this was a refurbished laptop. It simply isn't possible that I would need a password to install an operating system on a brand new laptop unless someone else had pre-owned it.
