Hi all

I am starting a small business and have bought 4 ex business lease pc's from an ebay seller. It's possible I will grab a couple more in the future.

I will mostly be using these pc's for kids to use tutoring software but may sign in to chrome and video conference with 1 of them, meaning all my passwords etc will be on it.

In the past when buying these type of computers for my own use I have done a reformat of the hard drive followed by a fresh install using a Windows ISO from Microsoft. In this best practice or would a reset be fine?

Since they seem to have legit windows 10 Pro, am i wasting my time doing any of this? Should I install Windows updates, Chrome, the tutoring software and leave it at that?

Thanks for you input
