I wanted to avoid giving details, but who cares?

Install it (burn it to a USB drive using Rufus, for example, or to a DVD). Then use a KMS key and one of the many public KMS servers that let you activate Windows without having a key. Cmd as admin:

    slmgr /ipk M7XTQ-FN8P6-TTKYV-9D4CC-J462D
    slmgr /skms kms.digiboy.ir
    slmgr /ato
