Hey everyone!

I got my desktop with dual boot (Kubuntu & W11) and wanted to know if I ever go fully Kubuntu, am I able to reinstall Windows again?

I don’t have a disc, but my desktop came with it pre-installed. Is it tied to my Live account?

    What desktop was it? I’m probably not getting anything anytime soon, but I’m curious for future

    I got a lot of great advice on another thread recently (which I still need to go through) on how to get the dual boot going, would be nice to have it be like that out of the box.


    Also one thing that might be relevant, sometimes reinstalling windows may cause issues with extra features tied to a particular version. This is second hand experience, a friend replaced an SSD and could no longer use certain features (bitlocker?) because they were only on the pro version of Windows. Somehow they were enabled before.

    So I guess it’s less of a problem and more of “you may lose things that windows decided you weren’t supposed to have”
