I'm looking for a new laptop. I found one, but you can choose between a "primary" and a "secondary" operating system. Do I then have to pay for the operating system twice.

It depends on installing Windows twice is nonsense, but e.g. Unbuntu is free and you can install it as a second operating system.

You can install multiple OS on each PC if you want. Every OS can be bought if the license conditions provide for it. Installing Windows twice on the same PC only requires one license, since the licensing is per PC.

In principle, you don't have to pay for the operating system at all.

Windows can also be used inactive and Linux is free.

Windows twice is nonsense.

It depends on which operating systems. Installing Windoof twice makes no sense. But if one of the operating systems is based on Linux (Ubuntu, Manjaro, PopOS, …) then it is definitely free. In principle, you only have to pay for Windows and I also doubt that they will offer you OSX there.

No, first install Windows and then Zorin, with the second the boot manager GRUB2 is also installed, via which you can then select the respective OS that you want to use.

But why Zorin? Why not PC-Linux or MX-Linux?

By the way, you could also install more than two operating systems.

On the purchase platform, Zorin is recommended for Linux beginners.
