“Does Lenovo/Best Buy sell a laptop without the Microsoft OS and Windows OS pre-installed? I'd like to install the latest version of Linux Mint Cinnamon and use the Linux OS instead. Thank you for your help.”

• Hey Felix, This IdeaPad 1 is only offered with Windows 11 Home preinstalled on the system drive, so you'd have to remove it yourself should you desire to have a single OS installed. Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!

• Generally speaking, the major part of BB's business is in consumer laptops, and those are all ready to use right out of the box, so that is what you will usually find on their website. If you call them up, however, they might be able to help you out with a business-geared laptop, but you might not get a sale price, so the money you save by not having an preinstalled OS would be offset by paying full retail. Only way to find out for sure is to contact them directly, not through these Q&A boards.
