    True but you can still save the money on the MS license and then just install whatever you want

      Oh for sure. Kind of forgot about that.

      I usually build my own PCs, or I buy certified refurbished systems from eBay, so I usually don’t pay the Windows tax(or its baked in).

      But definitely a good option to get something for cheaper, I do wish more systems had a Linux or no OS option.

      And even if I plan to use Windows on a system, I usually re-install Windows anyway. Can’t be too careful with what has already been installed on something.

        Official lenovo eBay store 💘

        I dual boot anyway so it doesn’t really matter and as shitty as MS is i find having it to be valuable nonetheless but i suppose it’s trivial to just run activation scripts
