Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64-bit
Installed and installation OEM DVD included. Microsoft's latest operating system. For when you're forced to have Windows for some reason. We don't recommend it, it's a hassle to install, and Microsoft forces you to open a Microsoft account to install it, which they then need to verify from a cell phone or email address and they even require your birth date as of our last install on writing this! If you choose this option be prepared to provide us all that info otherwise we can't install it. That's just one reason why we don't recommend Windows. We recommend Linux.
Or
Dual Boot Linux and Windows
It'll be the computer cost with Windows plus $39 for the dual OS installation. Most of you will be fine with just Linux in our view! If you need this option just contact us.
Due to fast changing technology, supply factors and dropping prices we may substitute a part for another we consider the same or better with no increase in price.
