Dell disks will work but he is looking for non-branded. When you open system info, etc, etc. It will have a big fat Dell logo which you would want to avoid using on anything other than a Dell.

If it is for personal use then go for it. Otherwise wait for the unbranded.

Mine don’t. Mine has the Windows logo if I go to computer properties. You will need a license with mine eventually though. Unless you can find one online.

I meant want to borrow and it needs to be home. I am formatting a friends computer and it has the legit windows tag on it but it can’t be from a diff company. Microsoft usually sells blocks or serial codes to dell, hp, etc which is also associated to their specific disks.

All of mine are Pro…so I guess those won’t work for you since the serial number won’t be for it.

It’s all good. I’m sure someone can help ya out.
