Pre-Built Windows VMs

Need to stand up one or more Windows VM for testing purposes?   Microsoft has got you covered.  They publish many Windows VMs that time-bomb in 90 days.  These are intended for those Web Dev's for testing sites.

Windows 11: This one is kinda fat in terms of storage usage as it has SQL and .Net items loaded.  It will auto login with no password.

Windows 7 and Windows 10 v1809.  The Windows 10 one will NOT update past v1809.  The Windows 10 VM uses a preinstalled user named 'IEUser' with the password 'Passw0rd!'.

***UPDATE***  It appears that Microsoft has pulled all but the Windows 11 VMs.
