Question about HP Victus RTX3050

I downloaded Windows 11 home edition for free and installed it via USB stick (get a good quality one as not all of them work, I used a 16 GB Sandisk). Save the information on the stick using RUFUS. The installation was very simple: press F2 (or F9?) repeatedly when switching on and follow the instructions. I advise you to connect the PC to an Ethernet cable during the installation as there are obviously no Wifi drivers yet.

No. There is no pre-installed operating system, which I unfortunately overlooked when I bought it. I had to buy Windows 11 separately and almost went crazy installing it. I had to spend two days searching through internet videos in different languages... And then install countless updates and drivers....

Hello,

Unfortunately, Windows is not included, but it can easily be installed with a boot stick.

There are numerous YouTube tutorials on how to install Windows from the FreeDos operating system (only the bios). And you can buy a valid Windows licence from a third-party provider for as little as €4, saving you around €200 as the PC also comes with Windows.
