Will that mean only the windows OS can be installed? I was reading the windows registration code will be embedded in the new chips. What will happen if I try and install Ubuntu or other flavor of Linux on the newer machines? Thank you for the explanation DM.

No, even with an embedded windows key, you can still run other OSes
(usually), there's a separate security setting of only running "secure"
or "signed" OSes, which limits you to mostly Windows and official Ubuntu loaders (not sure about redhat, popos, or others).
