How to get free software from Microsoft?

Question

Microsoft

Interested in whether there are real opportunities for an educational institution to get a computer class for free Windows and Office. Discounts on the Education version are not interested, unfortunately it's still expensive.
The educational institution is a vocational school, not an IT direction.
Thank you!

Answer 1

Contact the nearest Microsoft representative officially, on behalf of the institution.
Find out what options you have to officially get free software.

Answer 2

Education version

it also is a discount from MS for educational institution. Do you want a school discount in addition to a school discount?
Or is your establishment somehow better than others? Everyone takes the Education version, but you are owed it for free. If there are arguments in this regard - write. Straight to MS. Most likely, if you write 10 letters, they will give you a little more discount, but what would be free - definitely not. Does it make sense for them to do this?
What for? Where can this program be useful?
As an option - a remote desktop and there is 1 version that everyone uses.

Higher education institutions, vocational schools, colleges and lyceums can participate in the Microsoft Imagine program. Any accredited educational institution can participate in the program.

Answer 4

I'll tell you, it won't be free, but in accordance with the law, foreign software must be commercial in the field of education and have a value including taxes that the vendor or manufacturer of the software itself must pay. 3 thousand for an Education license with licensed Windows and Office will be better for both vocational schools and the state.
