I have recently acquired a Surface Pro 7+.
I was expecting to be able to achieve a factory reset using a clean install via a USB Recovery Drive (downloaded from MS).
I have accessed the UEFI Settings and tried to change the boot device or (to place USB first) but it doesn't work - I suspect this is because the Advanced Options "Enable Alternate Boot Sequence" and "Enable Boot from USB Devices" are toggle to off - unfortunately those options are greyed out and so I cannot toggle them on. There is a message in red at the top of the page "Some settings are managed by your organisation".
(1) Does this mean a full clean reinstall is impossible?
(2) Is it possible to remove these restrictions without Administrator rights/password?
Thanks in advance
