by the way, is the NSW allowing you to install alternate Operating Systems? like say you wanted to use Ubuntu, could you? or would that require disabling a bunch of stuff in the BIOS?
How would you get anything else to boot when you can't enter the BIOS?
It does depend on how serious they are too - eg if the BIOS requires a signed bootloader, and then there's a TPM chip to provide full disk encryption, even taking out the HDD won't allow you to break the security.
