I received a Lenovo laptop from my school a few years back in 10th grade. It's equipped with Windows 11, and while it's decent for note-taking and casual gaming, the school imposed various performance restrictions. Now that I'm in college, I need to run more demanding software like Premiere and Illustrator, which often slow down my laptop due to those limitations. I tried resetting it to remove the school's restrictions, but that didn't work, and I still have all the pre-installed programs and scripts. I reached out to the school's tech support, but they said they can't assist me anymore since I'm no longer a student. I'm considering switching to Linux, like Mint or Ubuntu, but I know that it can be problematic with Adobe software. Basically, I want to change my laptop's OS from its enterprise configuration to a personal setup. I'm fine with doing another reset since my important files are backed up on a hard drive. Any tips on how to proceed?

Did you reset your laptop through the Windows settings, or did you try using a USB drive with a Windows 11 ISO? A good option is to use the Windows Media Creation Tool to create a bootable USB with the ISO and then reinstall Windows directly from there. I’d recommend checking out some tutorials on Google or YouTube for a visual guide on this process; it’s a lot simpler than it sounds! Also, consider dual booting if you want to use both Linux and Windows. Just make sure to download the Wi-Fi drivers beforehand in case they get wiped during the install.
Hey, I’d recommend booting from a USB and doing a fresh install of the OS if that's an option for you. It should clear out all those school settings.
