Noob question: I am planning to buy a new desktop PC and to store bitcoin on Bitcoin Core Desktop Wallet full node.

I am currently doing that on my laptop. I bought it from ZaReason, it's tailor made designed to run linux.

Now I moved to Taiwan and don't want to import from abroad, since so much hardware is produced here. Knowing that


Do you think there is any possibility of hardware backdoor, or any leftovers from Windows, that would put my bitcoin at risk? I plan to use it as my main, home workstation.
