What is the difference between Linux and non-activated Windows 10?

Question

linux

Good afternoon. I ask for help in resolving the following issue. An Aser laptop was purchased, according to the documents and according to the receipt, the Linux operating system was installed with it, but in fact the operating system on the laptop was reinstalled to non-activated Windows 10. Do the store employees have the right to do this? What are the differences (advantages) of Linux from non-activated Windows 10? Which of the systems will get the program Consultant plus?

Answer 1

Okay thanks for the replies. I want to return the laptop, but the store does not go to the meeting. The case is already in court. An expert was appointed. The expert says that he sees no violations on the part of the store. Tell me more, please, are there any programs that are installed only on Linux, but they cannot be installed on non-activated Windows?

Answer 2

in fact, on the laptop, the operating system was reinstalled on a non-activated Windows 10

Self-activity of store employees.
No.
They are completely different operating systems.
No problem, only on Windows. On Linux it is also possible, but with non-trivial dances with a tambourine.

Answer 3

It won't work on Linux. You need Windows. Why did the employees put in non-activated Windows - a question for them, but in general I met "new" laptops with traces of use on sale in dubious stores.
Either break Windows, or buy a boxed (retail) license, or change the laptop to a similar one, with a preinstalled system.

Answer 4

It's trash Chapiteau!
What does Linux mean by check, but in fact Windows.
On the head with a laptop, director and consultant.
They didn't sell you what you wanted.
Don't let yourself be fooled.
Today a laptop, on the check Linux on the fact of Windows.
Tomorrow apartment dvushka on check, in fact odnushka 10 sq / m
And one more remark. (not related to the question)
Windows is Windows, it is the most popular and most common system on planet earth.
Bill Gates at one time did the most important thing that he did not fight piracy, thereby accustoming everyone to Windows.

Answer 5

Does the store have the right to do so?

Of course not. You must receive what you bought. Maybe you specifically selected a laptop with linux?
Linux is Linux. Windows is Windows. Each of them has its own area in which each of them is better than the other, these areas practically do not intersect
It will definitely fit on Windows :) On Linux - well ... maybe if you hit a big tambourine, it's not a fact.

Answer 6

Cool. Imagine you are a regular user. Come home, start the laptop, and Windows tells you to activate it. You go to the store, and you are there - you can work like that, but the window will constantly pop up, so that it doesn’t pop up, give us 10 thousand and we will activate Windows for you.

Answer 7

In fact, the store faces a fine for installing an unlicensed operating system, and is obliged to return the money for the goods.

Answer 8

Well, well, well ... Garryachchchie Finnish guys ...
Knowing how they sell in stores with a probability of 99%, I will assume that the author of the question was ADDITIONALLY sold the service of installing programs. Thousands for 3.
And if so - another calico ...
1. Removing the pre-installed linux and replacing it with another OS by the laptop manufacturer is not prohibited.
2. Download and install the TRIAL (it is not an activated version) Windows 10 can be officially downloaded by anyone from the Microsoft website.
3. And since the author of the question himself ordered the software installation service (probably in a package, and not discussing each position), paid for it, and he received it. Therefore, lawyers do not see any contradictions.
Now for the software.
1. There is also a Linux version of the consultant.
2. There are programs that only work on Linux, for example KOffice (a set of office programs for KDE)
