Unfortunately several tech websites have found unremovable malware embedded in past Acemagic mini-pcs that not even a reformat or BIOS flash can clean. Avoid
And 2ndly you are lying because you got caught spreading false info in other threads. There were some malware for bypassing Windows Login without Microsoft account and that's it. Any fresh installation will clean that.
Show me any link wheré it has been told that a fresh installation wouldn't remove it
And none of their mini PCs after that, have been reported to come with any malware.

And that Windows Account Bypass tool is pretty common and used by many. One of the most common USB Bootable OS creation tool Rufus does come with those features integrated. The software was in the Windows recovery partition. If you have received any of those batches, simply format the whole SSD and reinstalling the OS would do the trick.
But none of the newer series or models have the issue at all.

Usually the hackers do nothing but encrypt hard drives/ssds and demand you pay them money to reopen them, but I honestly wouldn't trust that they'll leave you alone afterward.
There's also viruses that can infect not only the windows installation, but the install image itself. That's possibly the reason people couldn't remove it, because the factory reinstall image have malware and anytime you reinstall it reintroduces the malware. That would need to be removed to, and sometimes manfuacturers put installation images on small read only ram on the device itself. If that's the case removing the malware would also prove difficult.
Keep in mind that I'm only mentioning bios and drive malware here and not this device.
