[Nottingham] stuck in reboot loop

[Godfrey Nix]

How do I swap out the drive? There is no rotating disk, it is all
solidstate memory as far as I can tell, and I dont want to dismantle a
brand new computer. Maybe I take it to a shop and pay 60 squid to have the
original win*** reinstalled, then flog the machine to someone who wants it.
