| May 28, 2022 at 16:15 | comment | added | UxuginLinux | @Ramhound Just for clarification: - Microsoft Windows 11 is preinstalled. - I have not done the installation process yet. - There is no hologram sticker on the device or packaging. - I am running Ubuntu GNU/Linux off of a live USB as I write this. Does that help? | |
| May 28, 2022 at 15:56 | comment | added | UxuginLinux | @Ramhound Sorry, I just wanted to confirm before accidentally erasing a $120 key. Thank you for your help! | |
| May 28, 2022 at 15:43 | comment | added | UxuginLinux | @Ramhound So even if I format the drive, use Ubuntu for a year, and boot from a Windows install medium, it will still detect the key? | |
| May 28, 2022 at 15:12 | comment | added | UxuginLinux | @Daniel B There is no Windows sticker anywhere on the laptop or the packaging. Could it be on a website or something? There are QR codes all over it. | |
| May 28, 2022 at 14:56 | comment | added | Daniel B | If the PC came with a Windows OEM installation, it must have a Certificate of Authenticity (nowadays, that’s the Windows logo sticker). Check again. | |
| May 28, 2022 at 14:53 | comment | added | ChanganAuto | Indeed but if you already got an answer I don't see the point of repeating the exact same thing here like you never learned anything new. | |

| May 28, 2022 at 14:26 | comment | added | UxuginLinux | @Daniel B No hologram sticker, but it's preinstalled. However, I haven't gone through the setup process yet. | |
| May 28, 2022 at 14:17 | comment | added | Daniel B | Did your device come with Windows preinstalled? Does it have a Windows logo hologram sticker (typically on the bottom)? | |
