According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus that is connectable to a server that stores an operating system (OS) includes a data storage module, a setting storage module, a controller, and a boot module. The data storage module stores data. The setting storage module stores setting information indicating either a first mode using the data storage module or a second mode not using the data storage module. The controller retrieves the setting information from the setting storage module before an OS boots up, and, when the setting information indicates the second mode, disables access to the data storage module. The boot module loads, when access to the data storage module is disabled, the OS from the server, and boots up the OS.
