Hello, I purchased a HP T520 thin client recently. According to my knowledge, its specs include an AMD GX-212JC processor, 4GB of RAM from Samsung, and a 32GB M.2 SSD drive. It’s a pre-owned unit, which is why I’m interested in installing a fresh operating system for a clean setup. The machine currently runs the latest supported Windows 10 Enterprise, but when I tried to reinstall, I encountered an issue with password settings—either the admin or user account prompts for a password, but none of the options work. I’m restricted from making changes without admin rights. I also attempted to run Ubuntu, but the USB image (using GPT and MBR) isn’t recognized or fails altogether. I suspect the manufacturer implemented strong security measures, though I’m not sure if there’s a workaround. If possible, would it be feasible to replace the SSD or bypass these restrictions? Also, is there an option to purchase a new SSD for this device?

You prepared a bootable USB for Windows 10, cleared the SSD before installation, and then proceeded to set up Windows.

This appears to be managed by the entity that originally owned it, which retains it in its system. Reach out to the seller or buyer for guidance on next steps.

I thought I succeeded, but HP thinupdate was used to update the USB, and it asked me to erase everything on the device.

It's not a brand-new setup. You have an HP Enterprise ISO that comes ready-made from HP. It functions just as HP designed it. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software.../windows10 Use the official Microsoft version

It operates on an ARM-based processor and isn't compatible with standard Windows 10. It supports only Windows 10 Enterprise.

The processor is an x86 chip, distinct from ARM in this instance

I heard they said it would work, so I'll attempt to start a standard Windows version.
