Pro tip here, ASUS will give you a refund for the cost of a windows license if you hassle them enough.

In theory you need to not have activated Windows on the laptop but in practice I don't think they have any way of verifying this.

The cost of the license on their end, or the cost of a license as you would buy it personally?

[–] seaQueue@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The cost of the license as passed on to the customer IIRC.

Honestly good to see that they are willing to do that!
