Keep it in a drawer. In 10 years time having hardware that you truly own that doesn't spy on you, and open backdoors will seem novel and may be worth a lot of money as a result!
It will be even more useless in 10 years than it is now. Think that technology changes, there are new hardware standards, soon you won't be able to use pendrive without having webUSB driver installed.

If it's an Intel laptop with an Intel ME the op is already out of luck.
It's tech. In 10 years the spying tools of that time won't be compatible with current Intel ME chips.
Implying the government doesn't run on hardware that is at least ten years old.
It only runs on proven technology that's no less than 30 years old.
If it's an AMD, chances are pretty high as well.

There will probably be no USB. All data in the cloud. Printer, Keyboard etc. will connect using Wifi or something.
But no security updates.
