I purchased this laptop as a replacement for my old laptop that was in sad shape. I took the 1TB SSD disk out of my old laptop and put it in this one (I had to purchase a SATA cable specific for this model) When I turned it on it booted Fedora 34 detected all the different hardware and runs like a champ! (I used the 128GB it came with for virtual machines) I never actually let it boot into windows (Thankfully!) however it runs Linux like a champ!
