How to get a Windows license
The get the permission to use Windows and MS Office you must own a valid institutional license. A license costs around 100€ plus 70€ for MS Office. After that you get access to the preconfigured Windows images, which have to be imported to into your VirtualBox.

import-windows-to-box
