So you agree that "to learn C, Python and even assembler", buying a second 
computer is unneccessary?

And to try non-MS stuff, he could install Linux on a different partition or 
even a USB-stick, use a VM, use CygWin, or install the Linux Bash Shell. I'm 
not familiar with databases, but I can't imagine SQL being the only one 
available for Windows.
