You Don’t Need a Product Key to Install and Use Windows 10

Microsoft allows anyone to download Windows 10 for free and install it without a product key. It’ll keep working for the foreseeable future, with only a few small cosmetic restrictions. And you can even pay to upgrade to a licensed copy of Windows 10 after you install it.

A frustrating thing about you is that you treat this forum like your personal support desk and always complain about people and then something is too hard or something takes too much time and that something asked is irrelevant. While everyone here here does this as volunteers.

CAUTION: Be wary of those third-party sites that sell product keys for Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, and other Microsoft software. The sellers use a variety of tricks to make a product key work when you buy one, but often the product key fails after a short time. The software no longer runs correctly.

I bought one from one of those reseller and I used that key on a Windows vm I had for about 4 years and it was still working when I deleted that vm.
