You don't need an academic license, as there are free VMs available (they
expire after a while, though):

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines

It seems that the current free VM will expire in 4 days. After that,
probably a new one will be available that expires some time later (not
sure about the exact time frame of those VMs).

Alternatively, you can download VMs meant for web testing at
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/ which
expire after 90 days.

Ciao,
Dscho
