I'm looking to test out Windows, but I don't want to download it without my VPN. I'm trying to use it in a virtual machine with GPU passthrough so I can play all my games. I also obviously don't want to pay for a copy. TIA!

You download the iso from microsoft.com then if the watermark really bothers you, get massgrave from GitHub (also Microsoft)

Nowadays getting a pre cracked copy of windows is a security issue, also don't work really good as many times is the enterprise version tied to some online KMS that would 100% go offline someday

Massgrave/Massgravel is not from Microsoft.
