Windows 10 Education free?

[Joey_67]

So, I know Windows 10 Education is free for students I've used it before, but that was to upgrade a PC that had Windows 7 already, but I'm currently planning on building a gaming PC and obviously I'm trying to cut costs as much as possible. So my question simply is can I get Windows 10 Education for free on a computer that doesn't have Windows at all. I am a student if that changes anything. I don't want to buy Windows because that's an additional hundred dollars on top of the eight hundred I'm already spending. Thanks for the feed back!

If you can get it from your school, maybe.

But trying to get a free OS license for a new PC is like trying to get free RAM for this PC.
The OS is just as much a part of the system as the RAM is.


Or, you can install and run regular Win 10, and leave it Unactivated. For free.

you can only get it from your school or college but even if you do they may invalidate the licence when you have completed your education with them. if you don't want to pay for it then run it unactivated or switch to a free OS like one of the many versions of Linux
