Also try Dreamspark.

 

 

Your schools IT department might be able to hook you up with Dreamspark Premium. Free Windows for you.

Ok so I hear about Dream Spark but when i did research on it, all I got was developer software or server os. Can someone explain where the windows os is and or provide a link.

You can't make one, the administration in your school has to.

What you need is Dreamspark Premium. Contact your schools IT department for directions on how to get it to work, it's different from school to school.
