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?

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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Apparently you can activate Windows using this: https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts
(Stolen from elsewhere, have not tried myself, might be legally dubious)
Half/most/all Chinese mini PCs on Amazon use this method. Yes, it works.
And then it works as a valid license on future reinstalls without needing to run the activation script, too.
This is how I always do it.
Doesn’t Microsoft own GitHub now? This is actually very funny.
