That disk says Disk 1 of 2639. Is that accurate?
A single floppy disk can hold up to 2.88mb on it, but in practice these were almost never made, and 1.44mb floppies were and are much more popular.. That is very small: a decent PDF file could easily overload it.
According to this site, on a DVD Windows 10 x86_64 takes up about 3.5gb of space. I don't know how to prove this, but it sounds reasonable, considering that Kali Linux requires 2.9gb.
Now, it's time for some math. Dividing 3500 by 1.44 gives us 2430.55555555556. Rounded up, that is 2431. In order to install Windows 10 from floppy discs, you would need over 2000 floppy disks. Therefore, that number was pretty accurate.
How much would that set you back?
Our equation would be along the lines of "total = licence cost + 2431 * floppy disk cost". Let's solve for our variables, first by learning that a copy of Windows costs 140$, which from the view of a Linux user is fucking ridiculous.
Next, we need to figure out how much the floppy disks cost. I found this deal on Amazon that offers 50 for 71.35$. This works out to a cost of 1.43$ per disk.
Multiplying 1.43 by 2413 gets us 3476.33$, plus the cost of the Windows licence.
