A couple of months ago, I wiped Windows off my old laptop and installed Kubuntu instead. Now, I was thinking of dual booting Windows additionally for a certain game (definitely not League of Legends, for sure not) and will need to buy a new key. Am I fine getting a copy of Windows 10 despite Microsoft’s discontinuation, or should I get a Windows 11 key? I have a different laptop I use as a daily driver (11, Surface Go 3), so this would exclusively be for the game that shan’t be named.

Sorry if this post isn’t fit for this community - I’ll delete it if it isn’t.

    Microsoft “fingerprints” your machine when you activate windows on it. You can completely replace the hard drive and reinstall windows from scratch, and they’ll figure out your activation on their end.
