Uh, what?

Microsoft offers free upgrades from Win 10 to Win 11, but you have to have a 
valid consumer (OEM or Retail) activation key for Win 7, 8/8.1/10.

Microsoft offers free Trial/Evaluation downloads of Windows 11 you can install 
and run for 6 months.

I don't know what you mean by "free download"

(The OP rejected the idea of running windows for non cost-related reasons, 
running an evaluation copy in a VM doesn't change any of those non cost-related 
reasons...)

Usually, not always - Looking at you, Red Hat.
