Best website for downloading a pirated copy of Windows? (lemmy.world)

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!

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.
