Bought a used Lenovo ThinkPad T480 for the kids. It has Windows 11 Pro and I have a few questions
1. Should I do a reset or a fresh install?
2. Win 11 has an option to randomise network address. I put a time restriction on my router so kids aren't on laptop all day. But with this option they bypass. Is there a way to completely disable it?
3. Is Win 11 polished now compared to 10? If not can I install Win 10 Pro and will it remain activated?
4. (HW related) I noticed the fan coming on when I was in settings and had nothing else open. Should try new thermal paste?
5. Can I add accounts for kids with password but doesn't give them admin access as I don't want random apps installed.
