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!
Why would you download a “pirated” copy? Just download the dumbass Windows official installer from Microsoft and use the link Ardi60 posted. There’s no reason to needlessly get yourself root-kitted because you were downloading an OS that doesn’t even need to be cracked in order to install.
Windows is free now! No license required. They’re a data company now.
You don’t have to download pirated Windows. Microsoft offers free versions of Windows (at least 10, not sure about other versions) on their website for making a bootable usb.

Download the official iso from Microsoft, install it, then run MAS on it if you really want to activate it.
Does wine have problems with some of your games?
Just use quickemu, it will download the ISO and setup the VM for you in less than 10 minutes. If it doesn’t download the ISO you can get it from M$'s website.
Also if you don’t wanna pay and don’t absolutely need windows just use any one of the many free Linux distros honestly.
Even if I hate to pay for it, the best safe solution get a cheap windows 7 or 10 key and if you want upgrade it. It’s free. Pirating something like an os is high risk I won’t do it.
Win7 keys are done for.
Win10 keys are the only hope.
I was using TechBench to download ISO’s from MS without having to change my useragent.
Sadly it looks like the project has been retired in favour of their Files project, but trawling through that to find entries that actually have download links is a royal pain in the ass.
If anyone has a tip on easily finding the latest download for each Windows version then I’d love to hear it.

You don’t download pirated copies for your your safety.
Download official ISOs from https://massgrave.dev/ (preferably the business editions and install Enterprise,… or Pro) and then use the provided activator on the same website.
Side note: Enterprise is the same as Pro without some telemetry / garbage by default or that can be further disabled, so you can safely use it.
