I'm curious. Can I buy a laptop without Windows 10 pre-installed?
I plan to transfer my Windows key from old defunct pc to new one.
Is there such a thing?

Currently using the one I got from Microsoft Dreamspark. So I have two keys in total. Was thinking of re-using one of it instead of paying extra for another Windows 10. lol. |

You'd need to check the website link for your school or ask your school which one it offers. Currently using the one I got from Microsoft Dreamspark. So I have two keys in total.

Oh I see. Dangg it. I means I should have only 1 transferable key but that's good enough. I'll try asking. Hope can get 600-1k price reduction while the OEM with Asus are non transferable  |

That is the best option to save money, Many OEMS are offering a free DOS pre-installed laptops, you can choose them to save money.
