I'm supposed to get a notebook with Linux for a friend. In itself, that's not a problem, buy a PC without an operating system and play Linux on it. Now the only question is how it looks with the return, should the notebook not meet the expectations. At Notebooksbilliger there's something of impairment in software changes such as changing the operating system. Does this also apply to notebooks without OS?
Can't apply because there's no OS.
If you are unsure, I would just flatten it and shred the drive.
If you return a laptop that comes without an operating system, you should format the hard drive / SSD completely. Then it is back to its original condition.
You can't change what's not on it.
All right, Linux on it and see if it works.
Simply delete Linux when returning
No computer can be used without a BS.
And therefore such a notebook can't be tested without a BS.
You also do not change any OS, since none was preinstalled.
I took a quick look at the terms and conditions, but couldn't find a corresponding passage that spoke of "impairment".

Where did you read about it?
Maybe the whole thing has to do with registering a Win10 with MS and also connecting it to an MS account. Perhaps it is so closely linked to it that it can no longer be transferred to someone else.
Just an idea… But I can't really say if that's the case.
But that would be irrelevant for a computer without a BS. And with a Linux installed on it that doesn't change.
In case of doubt, the SSD / HDD is simply completely freed of data again. And only then sent back.
But since I'm only a layperson, all answers from me are without guarantee!
How do you schedule a drive and why?
Buy a notebook with Linux installed. You can find the dealers who can do this at "Linux shop".
At IXSOFT I have already bought 4 laptops with Linux, Linux was installed free of charge. Everything worked wonderfully with Linux (mostly Mint Cinnamon).
Shredding is a 32-64 fold delete and describe a rock plate with dummy data so your data will be deleted then overwritten with empty files and deleted again.
Restoring your data is made impossible by many data recovery programs
offer this function.
Thank you. Which free program do you add?
According to Wikipedia, this is also possible with dd in all Live Linux (free of charge).
I use Windows because I always took O and O data savers East but not free of charge but you can shred up to 265 times and the overwriting is done with encrypted files so it is almost impossible to undo the undo.
I also had a Linux CD for something like that, but I didn't really know what it was called.
Whether you need it or not…
But restoring Google accounts or passwords would be too delicate for me to afford.
