It seems like you're considering an alternative approach. Linux might be a good option to explore.
You need to join Microsoft’s Insider program to legally obtain a free Windows copy. For students or employees at big organizations, you might secure discounts on licenses or related software through your institution or workplace. For example, some companies partner with Microsoft to offer Office for a reduced price, and universities often provide 15% to 30% off via certain vendors. Outside those scenarios, there’s no reliable path to a completely free Windows installation. If you’re looking for alternatives, Linux remains a solid choice—distros like Elementary, Pinguy OS, Mint, or Ubuntu are user-friendly and cost-free. Debian suits advanced users, while Arch caters to those wanting deep system knowledge. Linux isn’t always the best fit if you need specific software or prefer hands-on troubleshooting, but it’s usually the most practical free option. You can also purchase a discounted Windows key from another seller if needed.
Download Xubuntu, it's a free option and performs well. It's the operating system I use as my primary device. https://xubuntu.org/
This Linux distro comes from SUSE Studio and has since been discontinued by its original creator. It resembles Windows 7 with some Windows 8 visual elements, though the Metro interface is missing. You can test it in a virtual machine before moving to a real system. For more details, check the link provided: https://drive.google.com/...bzA&usp=sharing. Note: I don’t own the OS; I’m using an older version, and the download source is no longer available on SUSE’s gallery. Original owner site: http://alteratio.x10host.com/
