Huawei’s next computers They will come with pre -installed Harmonyos instead of Windowsafter the Chinese company has run out of licenses of the Microsoft operating system. However, users who already have laptops of the brand will not suffer any change as they were.
This is an inevitable decision on the part of Huawei, which continues to suffer the consequences of the sanctions of the Donald Trump government against Chinese technology companies, and that prevent it from maintaining commercial relations with US companies. The Huawei Smartphones Division was the great affected, to the Not being able to preinstall Google applications and other developers on their devices.
Now, it is the turn of the Huawei computers division, which can no longer offer pre -installed Windows devices, being a commercial product developed by an American company, Microsoft. Although it may seem strange that Huawei has continued selling computers with Windows 11 pre -installed so far, it makes all the meaning of the world: the company bought the licenses from Microsoft before the blockade went into forceand it has spent these years using them on the devices sold in Spain and the rest of the world.
But how they reveal in South China Morning PostHuawei has finished Windows 11 licenses, and as you can’t buy anymore, you will have to stop using the operating system in your products. The good news for users is that Computers already sold will continue to work without problems; The licenses are already associated with those computers and these will continue to receive updates from Microsoft and Huawei. Therefore, if we have bought a Huawei computer, we really don’t have to fear anything, and we don’t have to do anything special to continue supporting.
And the good news for Huawei, is that the company is in a very different situation than when it had to stop using Google apps on its Android mobiles. Over the years, Huawei has not only overcoming the obstacles of the American blockade, but to some extent, It can be said that it has been a blessing to the company.
Huawei has returned to the top of sales lists, for the moment in his native China, and has become more independent with the development of his own operating system, Harmonyos, and his own chips that do not depend on Qualcomm or MediaTek. Devices such as folding triple huawei mate XT show that the company has returned to the vanguard of the sectorand Harmonyos is the basis of a new ecosystem in which all its devices are connected, also its computers.
