Hi there, can someone help me with changing the os of this laptop? I went to the Bios setup and didn't find any Legacy support enabling, nor in the UEFI boot. I was installing my windows 10 pro through a USB. I found my USB option but it doesn't load it.

 

Operating system: Windows 10 education

If this is a laptop designed for your school it may have very limited BIOS options.

 If you made the bootable USB installation media using Media Creation Tool at the link below, you should be able to install Windows 10 in UEFI mode -with no need to enable Legacy.

Look at "Secure boot settings for consumer laptops" on this page:

I've got it because it is a windows education 10 and it is connected to a domain. I was a student don't have the access since I'm not an administrator. Even though the school said that we aren't responsible for your laptops they still didn't remove us from their domain and gave me an administrator access. So I wanted to format it by installing a windows 10 by USB flash by an iso file. I thought of some programming help or hacking through the current operating system to break it down and install a new fresh operating system of my own (as if it was a new laptop).
