These machine comes with a default windows 11/10 but there is a software that comes with it, that you can see it under START UP services. I forgot the name but please make sure you reinstall windows.

If you download the media and do the clean install it will NOT come up as having a valid license.
I just got mine and did a clean install of Windows and nuked all of their partitions in the process. Mine came up as a valid license after installing. Manufacturers have keys in BIOS.
ChatGPT and MS technical responses:
"Windows OEM licenses are typically stored in the computer's firmware, specifically in the UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) or BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) firmware. This method of storage is known as System Locked Pre-installation (SLP)."
"System Locked Pre-installation (SLP) works by embedding a special OEM-specific certificate and product key into the computer's BIOS or firmware. When the computer is booted up for the first time, Windows detects the OEM-specific information in the BIOS and automatically applies the matching product key to activate the license."
"If Window 10 is pre-installed on the PC, the OEM license is stored in the motherboard BIOS. You can then install Windows 10 on a new hard-disk, during installation do not enter the Product Key when prompted and Windows will be activated automatically after the first internet connection."
So what is your point? Is that incorrect information or what am I missing?
I do know that if you're going the clean install route, estoyloco's post is a good one to reference (download Windows 11 here [microsoft.com]), and you'd use these drivers [bee-link.com] from Beelink ("driver for minis 12 pro"). Although you probably want to email Beelink support to get your Windows 11 Pro product key first (you'll need to provide your serial number), just in case.
Also, can anyone tell me how much power this mini-PC would use if I had it on 24/7? An average or range is fine. I know the CPU itself is 6W, but not sure about the entire box.

Depends on load. But at idle its around 7 watts

Clean Install:
Fresh Start: A clean install wipes everything from the hard drive and installs a fresh copy of Windows. This means any issues caused by third-party software, corrupted files, or complex system errors are likely to be resolved (doubt this is a problem for you on a brand new machine)
Control: You have more control over the partitions and the formatting of the hard drive. (Got me a little additional storage back)
Time-Consuming: It's more time-consuming, you need to download the install media (ISO) to reinstall Windows.
Reset PC:
Convenience: The Reset PC feature is built into Windows and is more straightforward to use. It can refresh your system without needing external media like a USB drive or DVD.
Options: You can choose to keep your personal files during the reset process, which is less disruptive than a clean install if you need this yet.
Faster: Generally, resetting your PC is faster than a clean install, as it doesn't require reinstalling all your software manually if you choose to keep any programs you've already installed (might not even apply yet if it's new).
Grab drivers from Beelink or as a backup, I've had good luck using Driver Booster. It's a bit spammy but it does a great job of finding missing drivers and installing them. I usually uninstall the program once its done.
At boot up, under load I peaked at ~24W and idling around 9-10W.
