This 2007 Laptop Locked You Out Before It Even Booted

In 2007, this business laptop could lock you out before Windows even started. The HP Compaq 6910p was made for business, not for consumers. It focused on security, standardisation, and control. One key feature was full drive encryption that starts before the operating system loads. In this video, I look at how it worked, why companies used it, and whether its security still holds up today. I even pull the hard drive and test it on a modern system. This is a look back at how businesses handled IT security in the late 2000s, and how much of that still feels familiar today.
