SSD is m.2 SATA, not NVME
You should definitely repartition and reinstall Windows (if that's what you're planning on running). Don't want any possible spyware. Driver package is available on Kamrui's Chinese (not American) site.
Your Windows license is stored in UEFI. When you reinstall, the license gets picked up automatically.
Re: Comments about hardware keyloggers and malware "in the BIOS": No matter what hardware you get, there's always non-zero risk--unless you manufacture the chips and write your own firmware.
Hiding things in firmware is complex. To me, provided there's no confirmed report of this mfr doing shady things, there's no reason to assume danger. Of course, only you can decide if "not-zero risk" is tolerable. You can always spend the extra for ASUS if you need that peace of mind.

Good price (I think this is the lowest it's been). Couple of notes:
- SSD is m.2 SATA, not NVME
- You should definitely repartition and reinstall Windows (if that's what you're planning on running). Don't want any possible spyware. Driver package is available on Kamrui's Chinese (not American) site.
Would factory reset good enough or need to have a clean install by a usb drive? How to re-use the windows license? Can you post the website urlfor the driver? ThanksGood price (I think this is the lowest it's been). Couple of notes:

Seemed pretty great for my light computing requirements.
Next few days, as I would leave it on for hours, it would start to fail. The computer stayed on but no outputs to monitors nor sound.
Contacted seller for advise. Several days of trouble shooting with their AI bot with no success.
Sent it back after several days of that back and forth for refund.
It was a refurb that evidently was given a less than thorough restoration.
Good luck with these minis.

That's my experience. I've had many computers in that last 30 years and this is the first time I had to return one due to being defective.
