Actually it is. If you don’t believe it, don’t do it and just use the OS

ROTFLOL!
Dude. I’ve purchased and installed 100’s of Dell PCs with factory-installed Windows, not to mention installed Windows on bare metal machines countless times. I know the difference. It’s what i do for a living ...

No, sorry. A Windows computer has the OS pre-installed. At the factory they do a full install in a special mode of operation (I can't remember the term offhand) where they preinstall the OS and whatever software comes from the factory with the system, without doing any of the customizations you'd do at first boot.
The stuff you do at first boot is just configuration on an already installed OS. You can tell by how you can get through that stuff in a couple of minutes. A real, full dress OS installation would take way longer (SSDs have cut this time down a good bit).
