You could also try this on one machine to see if you can back out
of your Windows 10 hook-in.  (For new copies of Win10 the licence
key is recoverable from the BIOS)

Every useful machine at my home and two at work have Windows
re-installed in a virtual box. This dates from  my first dual
core laptop, and includes XP, Win7, and Win10. (I once tested 
Win3.1, 95 and 98, but had forgotten how to use 3.1:)

I'm not sure if this is important, but most copies of
VirtualBox i'm using have been installed and are updated from the
Oracle repo rather than ubuntu. 

USB connections can be assigned to the virtualised machine, or
connected for one-off use with a few key strokes. Some
programming dongles need permaneny USB assignments because they
disconnect part way through the flashing process. 

Hope this helps, happy exploring, Jan Coombs
