Choosing an Operating System

Windows Installation on MAINGEAR Systems

All MAINGEAR systems ship with a clean, bloat‑free OEM installation of Windows. Both Windows Home and Windows Pro are available. For most customers, Windows Home provides all essential features. Windows Pro includes additional capabilities designed for business environments, such as advanced disk encryption, update management controls, and remote administration tools.

Default Installation Location

Unless otherwise requested, Windows is installed on the primary M.2 NVMe SSD to ensure the best performance and fastest boot times.

Assistance With Reinstallation or Moving Windows

MAINGEAR provides complimentary support if you need help moving your existing Windows installation or reinstalling Windows on your MAINGEAR system. Our support team can guide you through the process and help ensure your system is configured correctly.
