Hi

I need a new Virtual Machine on my Server. Are there some legal ways to get a Win10 Cheap ore even free without Cracking or other dark stuff?

Why not just run it unactivated? It’s legal, there’s just an ugly watermark and you won’t be able to change your wallpaper.

You can use windows without a license - there's a watermark and you can't set the wallpaper, but it's functional.

You can do so, there will just be the watermark and you can't change the UI colors. 
 

If you need a key, just get a $7 one off eBay or something, they're usually keys resold from enterprise accounts, aren't supposed to be resold but they are legit windows keys.

All i can find on ebay are w10 disks, keys are nowhere to be found,

there's a difference between 'legal' and 'breaking EULA'.

 

you're doing nothing illegal with those shady $7 g2a / kinguin / ... keys, they just most defenately dont follow microsoft EULA... but most they can do to you for that is deactivate it, which i dont think they are bothered with at all, seeing how many of these keys make the rounds...

 

a sneaky sidenote you can also do, is buy a windows vista to windows 7 upgrade key, they'll activate win10 too, as well as a win7 key, a win8/8.1 key, and the in betweensy upgrade keys.

You want 100% legit? Tou pay full price, period.

Unless you're an actively enrolled student there is no "cheap or free" methods.
