Good evening. When you first started the laptop, the HP logo was displayed, FreeDos was preinstalled on the laptop. Then after installing Windows 10, the company logo disappeared and the Windows logo was displayed instead. I do not want it to be on the Internet. Please help, more simply very like.

Looks like you translated your post into English -- so we can help, now.

When you say the "company logo" disappeared, I presume you mean the HP logo, right? That is to be expected because you replaced the preinstalled OS with a non-HP product.

As to it NOT being on the Internet -- that is a serious issue because it has to be connected to the Internet, at least for a while, in order to activate the OS you installed.  That is done by contacting the Microsoft Activation Servers.

Once the PC is activated, you can then keep it off the internet by going into Device Manager and disabling the network drivers -- but that will also disable any networking, including Ethernet and/or WiFi.

So basically, if the PC is connected to a network that then has Internet access, there is no way to prevent it from accessing the Internet.
