It is reported that Microsoft’s license expires at the end of this month, and Huawei will no longer have Windows available.

Huawei's self-developed commercial AI notebook is expected to be released in April, equipped with a fully integrated DeepSeek large model, using Kunpeng CPU and Hongmeng PC system on the chip and operating system.The report mentioned that Microsoft's supply license to Huawei also expires this month, and after that, it can only fully localize PCs using Chinese chips and Chinese systems.

In fact, Yu Chengdong has already hinted that this result will occur.

On September 20, 2024, Yu Chengdong, Huawei's Managing Director, Chairman of Terminal BG, and Chairman of Smart Car Solutions BU, revealed in the CCTV News Live Room that due to the impact of sanctions, "Windows PC may have stopped being supplied, and may be the last batch. From now on, we can only use our Hongmeng PC."

In addition, a dealer revealed that Huawei will launch its first laptop equipped with Linux system - MateBook D16 Linux version. The hardware configuration of this product remains the same as the existing MateBook D16. The main difference is that the operating system uses Linux instead of Windows.
