Windows and OS
Does a refurbished laptop come with Windows 10 or Windows 11?

Edify refurbished laptops ship with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed and freshly reinstalled, and most modern refurbished business laptops support Windows 11. This matters because Microsoft has ended mainstream support for Windows 10, so Windows 11 is the right choice for ongoing security updates and software compatibility going forward. A few older or lower-spec machines may not meet Windows 11's hardware requirements (such as TPM 2.0), in which case they run Windows 10; those are best treated as short-term or budget options given the support timeline. When buying refurbished anywhere, confirm two things: which Windows version is installed, and that it is genuine and activated so it keeps receiving updates. At Edify, every unit ships with a genuine, activated Windows 11 Pro licence, freshly reinstalled, with the OS version listed on the product page. If a specific model ships with Windows 10, eligible hardware can usually be upgraded to Windows 11 free.
