Lenovo support response says laptop "locked per our agreement with Microsoft" to Windows 10

No.

this seems unlikely, even when Linux is part of the communistic conspiracy.

I think someone here recommended a US supplier. […] ha! found it! @hello_friends likes Emperor Linux

New computer/laptop (windoze OS) advice needed

I love the two “Toucan” (customized Thinkpads) laptops I’ve gotten from Emperor Linux for professional work. Both dual booted Ubuntu and the least horrifying version of Windows available at the time. Pricey, but I learn stuff and things. The support from Lincoln has been terrific. I tried using other laptops between these two that were less expensive and boo!
