Install windows on a DOS Free laptop

[NystriX]

Hey I'm looking for a laptop and I found one in a fine price who met my demands

 

Buttttt it comes with a DOS Free OS, can I flash my totally legal windows copy on it or would the bios be locked?

 

 

 

Thx and theres the link if you need to know which model is that(tho it's all in Minecraft enchantment language)-

You can simply boot from USB stick and install any Windows you want. 

 

They ship it with FreeDOS because it's open source and free, so it works around some legal requirements in some countries, which force Asus to ship laptop with an operating system and for laptop to be "ready for use" (you can show it's working by typing some dos commands) 

 

So you can use a usb stick , or a USB cd/dvd/bluray or boot from network if the laptop has network card and install windows or any linux or whatever.

the free dos is installed for laptop to just have an os shipped with it and for manufacturer not pay licensing fees

Nah I'm fine, I was just worried that because it's pre-build the bios will be locked or something stupid like dis, never installed a windows on a non-desktop machine...
