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.

Microsoft just lets you create install media now.

Like mentioned, if the machine was registered before you should be able to click that in a radio button during install and it should just work^TM^.

Edit: I see you mentioned 10 but I think same applies and the media tool is also available.
