I said no trial iso from ms site; it can't be activated in any way. Key isn't required for installing at all.

I don't want to discuss activation here (sensitive topic), but you can search for "msguides"

I too use MXLinux for main system. (Still dualboot with windows).

But on MXLinux, i use virtualbox, for Windows10, when need small stuff like Office & n'such.
You could go with Windows 10 Ameliorated, to use less ram.
Or search around a bit, "Windows 10 Pro - Superlite", and come across a forum that themselves, create modified windows version "superlite". (Torrent sources, at your own risk).
I use currently one of they're modified ones, on a VM. Just 900MB on startup. No WindowsDefender,Noupdates, super stripped. But still allows office tools

@g3lux , many are aware of such unofficial slimmed iso's, but they as usual, come with a warning : at your own risk and contents not verified.

It is better to refer to official MS builds (which suits a user's needs) in a public forum where many people pick up clues from. So, we must be responsible in suggesting iso's.

Of course, unofficial does multiple things that you can't easily verify. So at own risk about data while using it.
I use them for doing university docs stuff (non-critial data, of sorts).
There are a variety of powershell scripts on GitHub (quite a bit of searching), but that you could use to strip windows as much as possible to minimize ram/cpu usage (disabling metro apps, and much more).
