Is it worth it to get a laptop without Windows and buy Windows separately?

I've seen a laptop with 8GB RAM 256 ssd memory with Windows, but without keyboard light (663 euro) and a laptop with 16GB RAM and 1TB memory (699) without Windows and with keyboard light (important)

Is it worth it to get windows separately? I've seen prices of Windows 10 going up to 20 euro (which I would pay) but then I saw the same Windows for 150 euro. I don't know 100% when it comes to Windows preinstalled or not even available. Ask for advice

Gu

Ebay?

Lo

You can buy Windows for 15 euro at MMOGA, so I wouldn't make it dependent on that. A positive side effect is that you have a fresh Windows with no dirt preinstalled by the manufacturer.

Why are you buying a laptop for so much money without Windows🤦🏻♂️

Let me put it this way: When buying a laptop, you shouldn't make the decision based on whether Windows is pre-installed or not. Quite simply because, as you said yourself, Windows can be bought for little money. Incidentally, it is also questionable whether you need 16 GB of RAM at all or whether 8 GB of RAM would also be sufficient and thus possibly save money with another device.

As for Windows, I can also tell you why there are these big differences in prices. As a rule, a distinction is made between retail licenses and OEM licenses. You pay significantly more for a retail license than for an OEM license. The retail license includes packaging, a Windows DVD and Microsoft support. With the OEM license (formerly system builder license) there's usually only one product key. But that is not a problem because you can create the installation disk yourself for free.

I myself have already bought several Windows licenses on MMOGA and have only had good experiences so far. I have also bought some other product keys there: https://www.mmoga.de/Software/Windows/
