What I don't undestand, even Win 10 Pro has XBox and candys all over the place .. serious in a pro version?!? With the terrible EULA it all felt just like a joke to me and I deleted all my Windows installations and I'm Linux only now at home. I'm not using Linux because it is free. I have 4 unused Win10 Pro licenses at home now. But I just can't say yes to the EULA. So I dumped them all. In the late 90s I also bought Linux distros, because I was not able to donwload those over a 33.4kb modem. So it is not because it free or it cost something. It is about freedom.

The XBox game bar is useful for work actually - it is easy to make videos of bugs or how to use app with it.
I can do the same thing on linux and macos without the app being an ad.

I like using Nvidia Shadowplay to do any video recording on my screen.
Is there anything specific in EULA that stands out or overall it's bad for their users?

Why don't you sell them?
Windows license forbids to resell them (or was, last time I checked). Fortunately due to the local law I can ignore this paragraph but not everyone can.

Because it's not about the money. And who knows I might wanna use one on a VM in future. The last new notebook I made flat without even save the installed Windows first.
Get Win LTSB. That's the most sane version.

You have to almost cheat to get an LTSB license as private person. This would be an option, if I could buy a such license official.
