You'd have to ask the owner to transfer warranty, without that you're not eligible for any support, that's assuming it's a PCS chassis and not another SI's model in which case you'd need to register it with them.

Transferring ownership / warranty

I cant find the thread now as someone was trying to register second hand PCS laptop. So putting this here to help any future enquiries: The previous buyer has to log into their PCS account and on the first page use the button within that account (on right hand side): They will then see this...

Once you've done that and you have a PCS account, you'd need to give PCS a call as they're the ones who have the BIOS files.

Can i ask why i need to transfer over warranty for a 4 year old laptop just for a bios update?

Because you're not eligible for any support without it as outlined. Sellers are aware of this, if they refuse to hand over ownership I would cancel the sale as the system will never run properly without the required master driver and other things.
