pc-kombo doesn't seem to have a way to disable buying Windows. It screws the calculations, because it picks one among several versions of different prices.

A shame.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. You can click on the minus sign at the top right of the box to disable windows (or any other component category) - and it does not pick Windows when building a new recommendation list, one has to do that manually.

That probably got missed by not being able to remove windows just by using the arrows at the left of the box, right?

It's confusing.

Now I see there's just a windows logo, but no actual windows pre-picked.

Why not put something else than a windows logo in there, when it's not filled?

Do you have a suggestion? I needed something that says "here is the place for the operating system".

I'm not good at this sort of thing, so all I can do is suggest not using the logo of an actual, specific, operating system.
