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!

wine has problems with a lot of games unfortunately, especially ones with any sort of anticheat.

The games with client side anticheat install a rootkit. I wouldn’t install any if they paid me to, let alone pirate them.

Most games without anticheat work fine. Sometimes there are issues with DRM, but the pirated version with the DRM bypassed will often work.
