In addition, the user can freely choose the configuration of CPU, memory and storage, CPU is up to 8 cores, memory is up to 32GB, storage is up to 512GB. The OS is only Windows 10 at the start of the service, but it seems that Windows 11 will also be selectable when Windows 11 is released to the general public.
