Huawei's Microsoft Windows license for PCs expires this month, company launching PCs with Harmony OS


U.S. DoC's Entity List is a bad place to be.

Microsoft's supply license to Huawei expires this month, so the company can no longer legally produce and sell PCs with the Windows operating system unless it gets an extension, reports MyDrivers. According to MyDrivers, Yu Chengdong (Richard Yu), executive director and chairman of Huawei's consumer business unit, stated that as the company is on the U.S. Department of Commerce's Entity List and American companies must obtain an export license to deal with it, Huawei might not get a Windows license renewal from Microsoft. The new model will retain the same hardware specifications as the existing MateBook D16, the only difference being the switch from Windows to Linux as its operating system.
