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?
