I want to buy a new laptop.
Is an internet connection required for the first setup of the operating system or is Windows ready to go?
At Apple, to my knowledge, an internet connection is needed.
The device works without internet
Not for the setup of Windows. For updates or the Windows activation (if not yet activated) you need one.
"Not for Windows setup, for updates or Windows activation" I want to buy a new laptop. I currently have an Apple laptop. Does the newly purchased laptop need an update or a Windows activation?
To activate: Windows must always be activated, at the latest after 30 days Windows demands afterwards. If Windows is already preinstalled on the new laptop, it should already be activated. Updates are automatically installed when the laptop is connected to the Internet.
To updates: Since in Windows again and again security gaps appear, one should install the updates. This closes the known vulnerabilities. Updates are automatically installed when the laptop is connected to the Internet.
Thank you very much
Thank you very much
If you do not want to connect to the Internet later, you do not need it at startup, otherwise the number of missed updates will continue to increase, and the first update would take forever.
