Hello.

My wife bought a Laptop for my Bday yesterday. And now when I booted it, I need to enter a password on "Symantec Encryption", it pops up directly when I boot it...

I have a external hdd with Windows 10 on, but the boot priority seems to be locked on "PCI LAN"... I cant change it.. I can move it to "Exclude from priority list" though... But I cant get it to work and boot from my HDD and install new OS.. Can anyone help me please? I bought it for 500 euros, gosh darnit.. :/

Tom's Hardware has a policy which does not allow for discussion of how to bypass security protocols for any reason. Your only recourse is to return the laptop to the seller and have them remove the security. If they can't (or won't) you may wish to take it up with your local authorities.
