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!

For the actual Windows image you can legitmately download ISOs for most every version of Windows from Microsoft directly, you just need your browser’s user agent to say you’re using a non-Windows OS. Since you say you’re looking to “test Windows” it sounds like you’re on another OS, so you should be able to just download an ISO normally.
