it does have drm its just much less restrictive than the drm that makes your computer only function as a fridge or a tv because its a general use machine but windows itself is packaged with spyware and drm. an easy to understand example is that without product activation (yes you can get around it by illigitimate activation) then microsoft restricts your ability to change your desktop wallpaper or in windows 11 move the task bar from the middle back to where it always was. not to mention that everything downloaded off the windows store is packaged with its own drm that means its inherently locked to your microsoft account (dont ever use the microsoft store for anything) windows 10 even has ads in its start menu
