If this is a corporate computer, please make sure you have permission to do what you are trying to do, even if its technically possible to do it. The last thing you or anyone else wants is for you to lose your job over something like this, we are also not liable for what you do to your corporate computer.piakbt wrote: Thu Aug 20, 2020 12:35 pm j2mcgreg, you know, it's a corporate computer, so any hardware manipulation is not an option, unfortunately.
In that case, your best and only option is to contact your corporation's I.T. department and make your case as to why you should be allowed to switch from the currently OS to MX. Be prepared to live with what you have if their answer is no.piakbt wrote: Thu Aug 20, 2020 12:35 pm j2mcgreg, you know, it's a corporate computer, so any hardware manipulation is not an option, unfortunately.
