If you want to use this for Windows you will be fine as long as you don't need to touch the bios. My plan was to use this for a linux machine, however it had a bios password on it preventing me from disabling secure boot.HP Support's only solution is for you to order a new motherboard.... ~$150 dollar solution for a refurbished  PC that cost around the same.Amazon support sounded phenomenal, they assured me that they would send me one with a bios password on it and get it out to me in a day. Amazing, I thought. Low and behold the pc arrived and to my dismay I was met with another bios password when entering the bios.
