I’m planning to place an order in early September and am unsure which operating system to choose. I saw on the MS website that you could make a bootable drive with Windows 10 to use on another computer, but is this only for systems running Windows 7/8 or can I still do it on a brand-new PC? If not, what alternative OS should I consider? Thanks ahead!

To get the latest version, you must buy a fresh Windows 10 edition if your current setup lacks 7/8.1.

For setting up on a brand-new PC, obtaining a Windows 10 license would be necessary. An alternative approach involves purchasing a Windows 8.1 key from Reddit, installing it, and then upgrading to Windows 10, which can save some costs.

I've just moved to Ubuntu and it's performing excellently!

Linux Dominance. For serious play, consider Windows or SteamOS; for efficiency, try Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or any Linux distribution.

If you purchased a Windows 7 key, it would likely function identically to a regular license.
