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.
I think the cheapest way is buy an OEM edition and a SATA cable to fullfill the purchase requirements.
And a SATA cable? How does that work?
Is that like a token hardware purchase?
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.
