It is stored in the BIOS . Sorry, but don't know if installing a different OS would affect it?hello installing linux is lost the Windows license? I always stored in the bios for a possible return?
I have been searching and seen most saying that installing Linux should not affect the stored license.Thanks Kar Thanks Villa for the answer
Wil test it next weekI have been searching and seen most saying that installing Linux should not affect the stored license.
Also I have tried to find out if you take note of the stored license and it does get erased whether just entering it will reactivate Windows.
I couldn't find any definitive answers!

I'm having that issue with Ubuntu 18.04, tried various burns with Rufus and just now tracked down a USB DVD drive and burned one the old-fashioned wayWhen I boot my Z83-4 from the usb stick, after I select 'install xubuntu' I get a black screen and cannot procede with installation.
I wonder if there are some steps I'm missing.
