Microsoft and Lenovo have signed an agreement, according to which the new laptops with Windows 10 will be installed protection from the installation of other operating systems – in particular, Linux. This was by the manufacturer to one of the buyers.
The first about such a restriction said Reddit user under the nickname BaronHK. It first encountered a ban on the Lenovo Yoga 900 ISK2 ultrabook, and then found it on other models such as the Yoga 900S and Yoga 710S.
BaronHK the presence of the blocking at the BIOS level in its review on the retailer’s website Best Buy. A Lenovo employee responded to the message and said that “the laptop has the official version of Windows 10 Home installed and it is blocked under an agreement with Microsoft.”
This blocking does not make the reinstallation of the system impossible, but translates this task into the category of "very difficult".
