I want to donate my old work PCs, but I don't want to donate my Windows Pro licences. What's the cheapest way to get a Windows licence on a PC? (lemm.ee)

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.

Shops are not permitted to sell a OEM version of windows without an associated piece of hardware. There is nothing that actually ties that hardware to the windows license.
