“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 ...
I just installed a Windows 10 machine. It made me configure the settings for the install. To a non-technical person, that is an install because they have to answer “technical” questions.
Congratulations on all your installs. You’ve made us proud!
