Retailers in EU(and EEA and UK) have to take the product back if you don't agree with the licence, the problem is that this is not what customers usually want. People want to buy a laptop, disagree with the licence, and get money back just for the licence. Instead retailers will(or should) offer you a refund for the entire device, which is not what most people want.

I’d like to buy a phone and then get a refund for the screen, microphone, camera, battery, speakers, case, antennas and the modem. And the software too please.

Of course this only worked because Microsoft put this in the license and they have taken it out long ago. You can’t return Windows for a refund anymore.

No, you can't return it, but at least in EU you are 100% allowed to take that licence and sell it on, no matter what the EULA says.

You’re contradicting yourself.

PS license is spelled with an s

>>PS license is spelled with an s

Are you honestly unaware that UK spelling is licence, or are you trying to make some kind of point?

>>You’re contradicting yourself.

No, I'm not, but I will explain again. "Retailers in EU(and EEA and UK) have to take the product back if you don't agree with the licence" - the product. As in, the whole laptop/personal computer/tablet/whatever. If you don't agree with the licence bundled with the device, the retailer has to offer you a refund for the whole product. You can't return just the windows licence alone. I thought I made it quite clear in the earlier comment, but I guess not.
