Windows 10: Create A Windows 10 VMware Using Workstation. What License Do I Need?

Base machine has an Enterprise Windows 10 license.

Want to create a Windows 10 vmware on this machine.

To create the vmware I need a Windows 10 ISO file.

To get a windows ISO file I need a Windows license.

Can I use the base machine Windows license or do I need a new Windows license?

Don't fully understand what the below means which is an extract from the Licensing "Windows desktop operating system

for use with virtual machines" Guide.

Transfer Windows 10 license to vmware workstation

I would like to transfer my license from my laptop to a virtual machine (VMware Workstation). My hard drive failed on my laptop and I have decided to run Windows 10 under a virtual machine instead fo directly on the laptop.

I installed Windows 10 on a virtual machine, but it did not find the license (expected).

Is there a way to transfer the license for the laptop to the virtual machine? Or is there a way to capture the license from the data on the former hard drive? It appears that some or all of the data is on the hard drive, but the laptop will not boot off
of it.

Thanks in advance for any help.
