Windows 10: Recovering Windows after Linux Experiment

Greetings,

I have a Beelink Pentium Mini PC. It's 3 years old and long in the tooth in regards to speed. Recently I rented a movie of iTunes and the PC version of that is memory leak city. Brought the system to a crawl -- but to Windows 10 credit -- did NOT crash Windows. (It was so close though it might have well as been one.) ANYWAY --

-- I'm replacing that Mini PC with a new AMD Ryzen 3000 series which should be a speed bump by a bakers dozen. I want to install Ubuntu Mate directly onto the Mini PC. I've tried dual booting and, well, it's annoying. After all this --

-- my simply question is: if my Beelink shipped with Windows 10, and I erase it and install Ubuntu, and I later change my mind and wish to install Windows back -- does that piece of hardware know I have a licence and they'll be no problems? Or will the license be lost because I erased Windows?

:)

 

Guide: How to enable, use, and configure SLI on Linux.

I guess the next logical step would be to report on the performance you can get with SLI in Linux. That'd be my suggestion anyway.

 

considering linux

You can dual boot so that you can get experience with Linux without being stuck with no windows.

I wouldn't really suggest linux for gaming. There are usually linux drivers out for graphics cards but most games are for install on Windows.
