I just bought a used HP 840 G2
Laptop is working great
Did you personally do a full wipe of all drives in this system, and a fresh OS install?
If not, that needs to be your next move.
"kapsch " seems to refer to an Austrian company, specializing in traffic cams and telematics.
Sounds like firmware.No, I did not. How should I go about doing a full wipe of the drives? I want to have Windows 10 on it.
This message is popping up before the systems gets to the hard drive too. It’s on the splash screen when the machine first powers up. You think it’s firmware?
Can you post a pic of when this thing appears?
Sounds like firmware.
But for ANY used device 'new to you'...you really need to do a full wipe and reinstall.
No telling what the previous users had in there.
