Used Laptop, amt and computrace

#1 Post by timascus » Mon Aug 26, 2019 10:51 pm

Hello All,

I purchased a used laptop to use a camera monitoring device in my home. It's an X240. Anyway, I didn't know about all of the anti-theft stuff and want to make sure it can't be bricked or whatever. In the bios:

Intel(R) AT Module Activation: Permanently Disabled
Computrace Module Activation: Permanently Disabled


Is this all I have to look for? Thank you. Kind of worried.

This is perfectly allright. Generally the best combination you could see ;)

EDIT: welcome to the forum!
Too many thinkpads not enough time!
