Microsoft's supply license to Huawei expires this month, so the company can no longer legally produce and sell PCs with the Windows operating system unless it gets an extension, reports MyDrivers. As a result, the company might have to rely on open-source Linux distros that do not come from American companies or its own HarmonyOS.
Huawei has previously announced it won't use Windows for future generations of its PCs. The company is now said to be releasing a PC in April that comes with its own homegrown OS. While HarmonyOS could be a viable solution for China, Huawei's laptops wouldn't gain much traction in Europe and the U.S. without Windows.
