I am a beginner in clustering and I want to do a trial using virtual machines. I have downloaded VMware Workstation Player and I am going to make 2 different virtual environments for 2 cluster nodes, then make a virtual shared disk, after that install Windows Failover Cluster. Now I am confused at the beginning. My operating system is Windows 10, and when I create a new VM should I install complete new Windows 10 on it? So basically do I need a new licence for that Windows?
Thanks for your time!

you'll need a windows server edition of the operating system, you can obtain the 180 day version of Windows server 2016

Thanks, so do all cluster nodes need to run on Windows Server OS?

Yes, the server OS is required to operate as a WSFC node.
