You're facing a tricky setup situation after the acquisition. The laptop is running Windows but with corporate restrictions and hidden threats. You tried a fresh install, used Linux Mint for testing, and even wiped the drive, yet it still doesn't show up in Windows or Disk Management. Since you have the pin but no recovery key, you might need to explore alternative recovery methods or consider reinstalling from a clean media if possible.
