Windows and Office are incredibly easy to generate an activation key for using MASgrave. As I understand it, it tricks MS into giving you a valid Windows key, but the Office side does some trickery to fake activation.
Either way, very easy and no need to install shady cracked versions. Just install like normal then use MASgrave after.
If you want to go more legit for any reason, you can find OEM key resellers for Windows (and for Office too I think). OEM Windows keys are only good for one install, but they’re also only around $30.
There’s also a ton of benefits to installing Windows yourself instead of using the manufacturer’s version with even more added bloatware from the manufacturer. There’s a lot you can do to roll back Microsoft’s bullshit through customizing the installer ISO yourself. Unfortunately it’s pretty technical though. Not something easily explained in a single comment.
As a note to myself: When I get around to upgrading to Windows 11, record all the shit I do so there’s at least something vaguely reputable for the community instead of bits of good info across tons of otherwise crap SEO spam articles. Remember to cite the sources too.
Unless they patched it, you can just use the installer and not put in an activation key at all. The only downside is that it will have a mostly transparent text in the bottom right hand corner telling you to activate windows. Otherwise its completely free, and not piracy as its the official installer.
That heavily depends on what you mean by writing music. Musescore (the software, not the website) is pretty good for writing notation, and open source.
If it’s more about producing a track, there’s Ardour, also foss. If you wanna pirate an “industry standard” daw, there’s FL Studio and Ableton, I guess.
Depending on what you want to do exactly, there might be a lot of other software that fits the bill.

Here’s my advice for Installing Windows:
When getting an ISO from M$, select “English International” even if you’re in the US, to avoid a lot of bloatware.
Use Chris Titus’ Winutil. It’s open source and really easy to use.
Yeah the international one has less bloat due to eu laws. Also u can use tiny 11 to make a minimal iso removing more bloat.
+1 on Tiny11 and you can make your iso through winutil too, making it easier.
