The laptop is likely to run Jio’s own JioOS operating system and apps could be downloaded from the JioStore. The laptop’s firmware could be preloaded with Jio applications, including JioStore, JioMeet, and JioPages. There are also several apps from Microsoft pre-installed that include Microsoft Teams, Edge, and Office.
