Yes. I built a gaming PC last year and had to buy Windows 10 since I wasn't upgrading any existing computer. It's not cheap either—it was one of the high cost components of the system.

You could have used a non activated version with a free image provided by MS as the only downside now is a few customization options disabled. It shows as far as MS is willing to go to put Win 10 in people throat.
