Me and a couple of other students are building a PC for our classroom and the teacher said we can't use windows because they are too expensive. I made some research and not activating windows is apparently illegal. I have a code for windows 7 pro which works with windows 10 pro, but that's apparently illegal as well. Teacher said we'll use ubuntu, but I don't think that's a good idea since some kids don't even know what an operating sistem is. Is the scuffed version of windows 10 (https://youtu.be/nwkiU6GG-YU) relevant? Do you have any other recommendations?

How old are they?

Put Manjaro on it or maybe linux mint

You can always install LinuxFX. That's a Linux that, uh, masquarades as Windows 10 and is apparently able to run Windows programs. I never used it but it looks like something that might be useful for you.
