I am not part of the vendor management team, so I don't know the product's price, but I know that my company has an enterprise agreement with Microsoft.
We need to pay for the licensing through Microsoft partner. We benefit from an education license in the Philippines, which provides us with a better deal compared to Windows licenses for retail stores.
Windows 10 has a good subscription. But, Microsoft should work on making the OS more affordable to compete with other operating systems like Linux, which is known for its security and is used on many servers. They could also add new features and support more applications. The licensing is yearly. I think the license is only available on a yearly basis. It would be nice if they offered some one-time license options where you could procure it for a lifetime. It's not expensive or cheap, but it's in a mediocre range. They could make it a little bit cheaper.
Windows 10 is included with the computers we buy, so I'm unsure how that breaks down. When I worked for an OEM years ago, I know that OEM licenses were quite cheap, but I don't know if that has changed since then.

The basic operating system of any hardware should be free. Therefore, it should be free. They should charge only for the enterprise level or enabling the hypervisor. They should charge for Professional Windows 10, but the basic OS should be free.
Windows 10 was already factory installed on our new PCs. We upgraded to Windows 10 Professional later. For home users, the professional version is not necessary unless file sharing between PCs is a requirement.
