Can anyone confirm that this laptop has some battery charge limiting software or BIOS setting? Like ASUS Battery Health Charging for example. Mostly use my present laptop with charger connected, so don't want to reduce battery capacity with overcharge.

I've since sold the laptop - but do not recall seeing anything of the sort in the BIOS.

How is it when it comes to Windows license? Can I buy laptop with Chinese Windows, install Windows Pro on my own and it will be genuine? Or do I have to order with Windows Pro preinstalled, for extra money?
Tbh installing Windows is something easy enough that paying extra 40 euro is not worth it. My only concerns are license issues.

Some guy on the internet wrote that he ordered Chinese version, logged into Microsoft account and therefore got Office license also, because laptop comes with this license too, and you will only have to link it to your account.
Maybe a bit late, but for future readers. I bought the Redmibook Pro 14 last month in China. Read out the Chinese License Key (Win11Pro) and Installed Win10Pro English without issues. The office that was included I cannot install, eventhough it was linked to my Microsoft Account
