The consumer advocacy group 'Refund4Freedom' is urging manufacturers of Windows 11 computers to discontinue the obligatory inclusion of system licensing fees and to offer refund opportunities to customers who opt not to utilize Windows. Earlier, certain users noted that during the Windows 11 installation process, Microsoft compelled users to link their Alipay accounts for payment deductions in the out-of-box experience (OOBE) phase, making it impossible to continue with the installation without this linkage. While Microsoft's move might have stemmed from a translation mishap, it nonetheless inconvenienced users, who are now entitled to seek refunds via Alipay and Microsoft's customer support. Moreover, new computers arrive with Windows 11 pre-installed, and the initial setup necessitates an internet connection for activation, thereby hindering users from availing themselves of the 7-day no-questions-asked return policy. Nevertheless, there exist techniques to bypass the internet activation step for device examination.
