Setting up a Windows 10 VM

Since my copy of Windows 10 is registered to the machine that I have VMware installed on, can I still set up a Windows 10 VM that will register and run after the Window 10 trial period has lapsed?

If I am reading this correctly:

The PC or the primary user of the PC needs

active Windows 10 Enterprise with Software

Assurance or Windows 10 Enterprise E3/E5

subscription, which permits running up to

four virtual machines concurrently.

I cannot set up a VM in/on my copy of Windows 10 Pro, but only through Windows 10 Enterprise with an E3/E5 subscription (not sure what that means).

If that is NOT the case, please clarify and let me know.

So, oh well.
