    This includes people that install windows with their own license.

    Paying the full 259€ for Windows Pro is just kinda ridiculous, when you can get keys for 30€ from resellers or just for free.

      Yet many people do pay the 145 EUR for Win 11 home in other PC products, not reading the fine print in the few alternative cases where one actually get the option to not get Windows pre-installed. Yes, I know that large producers can get much cheaper licenses, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t charge you big for it anyway, either openly or just hidden in the final price.
