    Oh no, the manufacturer of any computer with a windows license paid for it and passed that cost to you. You paid for it.

      No, you download it for free from Microsoft. No need to buy a pre built machine.

      I’m the manufacturer of all of my computers though? So there’s no cost? I don’t know what you’re getting at.

        I’m more talking about laptops, you can use it without paying for it on a device you build yourself, albeit with some functionality restricted.
