    How do I make my computer recognise a USB as an accessory?

    by mrpleasant · about 3 years, 11 months ago

    Tags: 

    I recently received a new school laptop and (being a fairly strict private school) they have put restrictions on it to I can not use a USB with it. I have heard that there is a way to make my laptop recognise the USB as an accessory (accessories are still useable) but I do not know how to go about doing this. Any tips would be very much appreciated, thanks.

      Whart exactly do you mean with “a USB”. Could be mouse or a speaker set. And what do you mean with “accessory”? Could be a mouse of a speaker set.

      Discussing circumventing rules from an employer or a school is no go on these forums. So I’m afraid we can’t help you, even if we could understand your question.

      ….your school’s information technology group.

      From your description, the computer is owned by the school and if so, you are not authorized to make changes without their permission. Nobody on this forum should even suggest how to get around this.
