Hi, I am looking at buying a pc it says that there is no OS included does this mean I will get a trial version of windows or what happens? Can I still use the pc as normal? Can I boot up and install a free trial of windows 10 after the boot
Thanks for reading.

two options.
install windows 10 and run it unactivated until you can purchase a key
or
Linux. Linux Mint with cinnamon is very easy for the windows proficient to use and is what I am responding on right now.

"No OS" means no operating system. At all. No trial, nada.
It is up to you to get your own.

From a different working PC, you can create your own Win 10 install here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
You can isntall and run it Unactivated, until you can purchase a valid license. Around $85-$90.

Or some Linux variant.



However, is this a used system? If so, you have limited means to actually test it before money changes hands.
If it is from a store...what one and why no included OS?

Well...legit + kinguin is a matter of opinion.

Hi, thanks for the answers. So from what I see it's best to buy a pc with a pre installed windows 10 and not to hope the pc I was getting will include some sort of trial.

@USAFret, it's from Amazon UK the link is:

There are two options of this pc, one with an OS and one without. Thanks all.
