My Laptop doesn't work as it should and my company is hesitant to change it

I started working here in the company around 3 and a half years ago. They gave me an old lap top and said something like this is temporarily, we are planning to change the equipment. Few months ago, they bought some new lap tops, but since then they are hesitant to my complaints that the lap top is slow. The Windows is installed 5 years ago and it was used before.

The thing is, we work remotely and the IT technician is always giving me the same crap about it. Clear the cache and the cookies, clean temporary files, etc.. I am not allowed to format it because I don't have the Windows key to register it afterwards. I am connected to the company's VPN and I am not sure to what extent they have access to what's happening.

The main question now is: how can I "screw up" the lap top so it won't work but it doesn't leave any trail or damage the hardware?

Thank you 😄
