I couldn't find a version of this that would work in a VM. The few I tried were "preactivated" and then complained about hardware changes when I tried to install in a VM.

No I'm not asking people to find me a working release. I'm just complaining that I just can't be assed mucking around with unlicensed installations.

the last time I had to set up a windows-system, I just said fuck-it and bought a key for 2€ from on of these shady key-sides.

Yeah I bought some keys a while back.

It never seems to be as easy as "type in this key". They get linked to my Microsoft account or some nonsense.
