Laptop with Windows or DOS?!

[keavlar]

Hey all, 

 

When buying a laptop, which is better, to have Windows preinstalled there? 

Or to Buy it separately?

Preinstalled mostly means - cheaper. But separately means you can move it to another computer if your laptop dies.

Reinstalled not always cheaper. I can save on this one. But i am not talking about money, I talk about which is better

This is the same operating system if you ask for functionality.

More safe preinstalled if you don't know what you re doing, better with no OS at all so you can format your disk and install whichever OS you want from the start.

Not to mention if you install windows yourself the manufacturer can't install a ton of bloat-ware.

Given windows 10 already does this to an extent...

You can easily install with clean ISO if you have unusual fear for "bloatware" like so many on these forums. Requires some trickery to get ISO, but thats about it.

Well, you can always just reinstall it right away with the W10 files from Microsoft. So bloatware is not really an issue
