Question 1

Is it okay to sign into my personal Chrome profile?

Accepted Answer

It’s safer to avoid it. Syncing personal data can accidentally save your private passwords or history to company servers.

Question 2

Can IT see my custom wallpaper?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they can technically see everything on your desktop. Stick to neutral or professional images like the "Margalla Hills" to avoid any awkward questions.

Question 3

What if I need a tool that isn't on the "approved" list?

Accepted Answer

Follow the advice in the "How to ask IT" section. Provide the vendor link and explain how it saves time or prevents errors for the team.

Question 4

Can I use my own mouse and keyboard?

Accepted Answer

Usually, yes, but drivers are the "gray area". If your hardware requires special software to work, check with IT first to ensure it won't trigger a security alert.

Question 5

Should I delete personal files before I return the laptop?

Accepted Answer

You shouldn't have personal files there in the first place. Keep your banking and private photos on your own devices to stay 100% safe.
