eStout Student Laptop Program: Factory Reset Laptop After Graduation
When a student graduates, their laptop needs to be reset with a personal account. Students have the option of having this done at the Technology Help Desk in Sorenson Hall 109, or they can do it themselves.
If you're eligible for the laptop transfer program, your laptop must be factory reset (also known as: Grad Reimage) in order to remove your UW-Stout account off of it. We can do all of this for you at the Technology Helpdesk. However, if you're outside of the Menomonie area, you can perform this yourself:
- Remember to backup data before resetting your device
- More details can be found on our KnowledgeBase: Email and Data Migration Guide
- You'll have access to your email and OneDrive for 13 months after you graduate. Afterwards, it will be disabled.
- Apple devices only need to be reset if your Apple ID uses your UW-Stout email address.
