I got an older Dell with Win10 on it to put Linux on. A good suggestion I followed was to find the Windows license key on the system before loading Linux. I then installed VirtualBox and installed Win10 with my key into VirtualBox. I only gave it 20G of space initially, which turned out to be too little for windows to install updates, so I reinstalled it in 30G.
