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!

https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php /s, but you can use the offical version for playing games and stuff without paying, and there are easy ways to get around the limitations (remove watermark, change desktop background, etc).

Ghostspectre but it's a debloated version

You don't download pirated copies for your your safety.

Download official ISOs from https://massgrave.dev/ (preferably the business editions and install Enterprise,... or Pro) and then use the provided activator on the same website.

Side note: Enterprise is the same as Pro without some telemetry / garbage by default or that can be further disabled, so you can safely use it.

Just download Tiny11. It removes all the bloat and just loads the basic.
