I have been struggling to decide what to do with my old rendering machines… But they are getting less useful for rendering by the day.

I encountered some Ukrainian refugees in my language class, and some of them don’t have PCs.

It must be hard for them to look up information etc.

I want to clean up my old machines and donate them… But won’t have a Windows licence. I’m also not sure the best way to install Windows if they will be using Russian or Ukrainian language.

Is there a cheap Windows licence or free for Windows this situation?

In the old days I would have pirated it but I don’t want to put them in that situation.

    Grey market sites like G2A and Kinguin have windows licenses for cheap.

      At that point is morally better to just pirate it

      Those keys are working but legally unlicensed (usually for testing purposes only for msdn members)

      Kinguin is great but it does require a phone call which is disappointing.

        Really? I’ve bought Win10 keys on Kinguin before and I don’t think I’ve had to do that before. It’s been over a year since I’ve used them though.

          For me it required I activate via a phone. Was no big deal, took about 5 minutes.
