Piracy could also mean “buy shit for way less”. Instead of a 200$ key you can have it for 2-5$. It kinda fits.

Plus you can have it free but it’ll be a hassle or very low price and it won’t be a hassle. The choice is his.

Buy a key from a chinese retailer. 5€ for a fully functional windows.

If you don’t want to, there are KMS tools but they work for a time then they don’t anymore.

VirtualBox, but don’t go for Ubuntu, rather go for Zorin. It’s way more user friendly :)
