Laptop Graduation

Laptop graduation is when the laptop issued to each student upon their matriculation at Gibbons completes its transformation from joint stewardship to sole responsibility of the Gibbons graduate. This process resets the laptop to a recent version of Windows 10 pro and removes all Gibbons specific licensed software and monitoring tools.
