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.

    Install non legit 7 or 8.1 then upgrade to 10 (this still works) after that is has a legit win10 that can even be clean reinstalled. Amd upgraded to 11 if hardware supported (or bypassed).
