Omen 15 en0001AX

I'm planning to buy this laptop[https://www.amazon.in/HP-15-6-inch-5-4600H-Windows-15-en0001AX] from amazon India and would like to replace/dual boot windows 10 home with some linux distros. Would it void the warranty?

Standard Warranty only covers the hardware - loading Linux does not void the warranty.

If you do have to send in the computer for repair, Linux is not included in the coverage.

If the OS has to be reloaded, you get back a computer with the original Windows installed (but not your Linux).

 

Warranty Check / Product Registration

 

 

  • Register your product during first setup or soon afterwards

Standard Warranty, that is, the warranty included with the device, typically covers hardware as explained in the Warranty document.  Optional Care Pack warranties differ by contract.
