I'm reporting for ANYONE who is looking to buy an MSi gaming laptop or desktop to think a second time.
I called MSi customer support and the REP stated that NOT based on the BIOS but motherboard, the Laptops are designed to run Windows only. they said people might be able to install UBUNTU or other Linux flavor.
It IS my intention to create a campaign when I get all of the information necessary information I need. it is my preliminary contention that, this could be a case of monopolistic practices IF I can acquire the information on WHY MSi builds their mainboards for Windows only.
I don't want to jump the gun at this point and will gather all information and then weigh in the results on an antitrust class action lawsuit. again, if applicable.
but for now, be aware that MSi does admit that their systems were designed for Windows 10 ONLY at this time. You might get luckier than I did on getting an entirely different OS on their system.
I'll keep you all posted.
