Are there any differences in the pre-installed windows on the laptop from the one that I will install?

Question

Windows

I want to buy an ultrabook asus zenbook, it does not have Windows preinstalled. So it became interesting to me, about the same laptop, but with the system from the manufacturer it will be different? Maybe there are some chips, interesting programs. How is it there?

Answer 1

You can always download and install all interesting features yourself from the official website. The pre-installation will have a bunch of advertising junk like trial versions of Word, some kind of antivirus and some other godforsaken useless programs, as well as a bunch of telemetry from the manufacturer and useless auto-updaters of these godforsaken programs. Most likely there will still be branding of Windows at the level of preinstalled themes, a modified boot screen and a logo in the information about the PC. Well, with a 99% probability you will have a home from the factory, and not a pro.
