Hi,

PC manufacturer will release latest models with Windows 11 and the one I am interested they have confirmed to be delivered with Windows 11 Pro x64 (OEM).
What if I want to install Windows 10? Do I have to buy a license for Windows 10? Or is there any pre-defined rules from MS?

    Hi @~OSD~ ,

    You will need to contact the hardware provider/reseller/manufacturer to check if downgrade is possible.
