Need operating system help.

Welp, just found out that I can't buy the Windows 8 pro student version because my card isn't working or something, also windows 8 is stupid expensive and I don't feel like spending as much as it costs in my country. Question, should I install windows 10 technical version, the windows 8.1 pro trial version and wait until my school fixes my card or should I buy windows from a more cheaper site, g2a or some other site?

Do NOT install the Technical Preview as your main OS. Microsoft will see everything you do on it and it has many bugs - one of the recent ones was breaking HDDs.

You can try installing a Linux distro for now (for example Linux Mint 17.1).
