The way I read it, if the PC already has Win10 installed, you can download and create a new media and do a reinstall without paying for a license. If the pc was using Win 8, you would have to pay for a new license.<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10</a></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Now, if I wanted the primary OS to be Linux and then use VMware or (?) to run windows, I still might have to pay for the license because the environment isn't the same. <br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I don't expect to do any of this right now, but thought maybe the info would be useful.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
