Create a backup for your work laptop's operating system.
You have several possibilities for creating a backup of your current system. You can use Windows built-in tools like System Restore or create a bootable USB with a recovery image. An external USB dock might help if you can connect it to another machine. Since you can't install new software, consider using a recovery media such as Windows Media Creation Tool or a Linux live USB to preserve your setup. If you prefer a fresh installation, ensure you have a clean copy of Windows ready for transfer.
