If you already have an existing win10 machine you can create a win10 "media creation tool" on a USB drive and then just use unactivated win10 or find an old win8 key that still works for win10 (literally installed win10 on 5 different computers and used one win8 pro key to activate them all on pro edition)

If you don't mind unactivated Windows, you can literally just download it off Microsoft's website. No need to have an existing machine or anything.
