Just so everyone knows at one point Microsoft was forced to buy your unused windows key on a new computer. It would be a damn shame if we forced them to do that again.
Pro tip here, ASUS will give you a refund for the cost of a windows license if you hassle them enough.
In theory you need to not have activated Windows on the laptop but in practice I don't think they have any way of verifying this.
The cost of the license on their end, or the cost of a license as you would buy it personally?
The cost of the license as passed on to the customer IIRC.
Honestly good to see that they are willing to do that!
