I recently bought a used Lenovo Thinkcentre M70Q mini PC, but I found out it's organization locked as an Amazon Customer Support unit. It's running Chromium, and I'm wondering if it's worth the effort to wipe it clean so I can use it personally. If I do attempt a wipe, I could use some guidance on how to go about it. I'm even open to disassembling the device if necessary!

You might want to check if the PC is encrypted. If it's not, you can probably boot it from a USB stick with a new operating system on it, like Windows or Linux. It could be that you need to access the BIOS to change boot settings, so try repeatedly pressing F1 when you're powering it on! That should lead you to the setup options you need.
Thanks for the tip! I’ve been trying to get to BIOS, but I’m still figuring out how to do it with Chromium. I’ll keep experimenting!
