Test version notice

Last updated 14 November 2026. This document is a draft and has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer.

1. What you are getting

OneClick OS is in early development. The download on this site is a test version, sometimes called a pre-release or alpha. It is offered so people can try it and tell us what is broken. It is not a finished product and should not be treated as one.

2. What can go wrong

• You can lose data. Installing an operating system changes the disk you install it on. If you choose to replace Windows, or pick the wrong disk, everything on that disk is erased and cannot be recovered.
• It may not start. The test version has been run on very few computers. It may fail to install, fail to start, or stop working after an update.
• Hardware may not work. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, sound, graphics, fingerprint readers, sleep and battery life can all behave differently from Windows, or not work at all.
• Apps and games may not run. Some software is made only for Windows. Some online games block Linux on purpose. See what we can't fix.
• Features are missing or unfinished. Parts of the system described on this site are still being built and may be absent from the version you download.
• Updates can change things. A test update can remove, rename or break something that worked before. You can go back to the previous version from the Update page in Settings.
• Security. A test version has not had a security review. Do not rely on it to protect sensitive information.

3. What we ask you to do

• Back up everything you cannot afford to lose, to a separate drive or the cloud, before you start.
• Do not install it on a computer you need for work, study or anything urgent.
• Prefer a spare computer, or install to an external USB drive so your own disk is never touched.
• If you install beside Windows, make a Windows recovery drive first.
• If you are under 18, ask a parent or guardian before installing.

4. No support promise

We read bug reports and try to fix what is reported, but we do not promise a reply, a fix, or a date. There is no helpline.

5. Your rights are not affected

Nothing in this notice removes rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot be excluded. Subject to those rights, the test version is provided as it is, free of charge, and you use it at your own risk. The full position is in the Terms of use.

6. Agreeing

By ticking the box on the Download page and downloading the test version, you confirm that you have read this notice, the Terms of use and the Privacy policy, and that you accept the risks described above.
