You should ask for a refund from whoever you purchased it from - as it is currently locked to marinemax. The original owner, or owner who enrolled it on the mdm needs to remove it from that platform before they sell it on. This is the same scenario with an mdm locked phone. Others may have a different opinion and I'd like to hear what you think. Sure, it's all a really good an noble idea to manage your own computers, even if they've been stolen - until it's not a good idea like in my case where such management is considered a cyber attack for which Microsoft would be liable and face criminal and vast ($$$) civil charges. They forced MS to unbundle Internet Explorer and Edge and that is far less insidious. I can see the day when the EU forces MS to remove the "baked in" part of the management from Windows. But when someone legally owns a PC that can be hijacked using Windows and Microsoft's Intune management system, that's crossing over the legal line. ![]() Management through outside 3rd party software is one thing. This illuminates, to me, issues with Windows. The logo appeared on that specific computer because Microsoft bakes in management software into Windows that phones home and detects that this PC WAS owned by MarineMax and pops up the logon and only allows it to sign into a MarineMax domain account. When the SSD was put in another PC, the logo disappeared. The media is a standard, downloaded Windows 11 flash drive installer from MS website. You should go to Dell support with the Optiplex service tag to see what OIS came with the PC originally. ![]() If you did a fresh install, it would have the logo etc from the media, if any ? But when I installed a fresh copy of the latest Windows 11, at the point where it usually asks to create a user, it instead MANDATES that I enter a user from MarineMax.
