Windows 10: Is there any trial version of Windows?

Paying for windows isn't possible for me, it's not cheap and I have a very low budget. Is there any free/trial version I can use legally?

Minecraft free trial

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand your concern as you are unable to install Minecraft on your PC. In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

• What is the Windows 10 version and Build installed? (Type winver in Windows search/Run command)
• Which trial version of Minecraft game are you installing?
• What is the complete error message are you getting?
• Do you have any non-Microsoft Antivirus program installed?

Please help us with the screenshot of the page from Microsoft Store for the trial version of Minecraft game you are installing.
(Please follow the steps mentioned in the screenshot
posted by Shawn ‘Cmdr’ Keene on Oct 2, 2015 to post the screenshots.) Do not share any personal information in the screenshots.



Meanwhile, we would suggest you to perform these steps and after every step check if you are able to install the app.



Step 1: Reset the Windows Store Cache: Press the Windows Logo Key + R to open the
Run dialog box, type wsreset.exe, and then select OK.



Note:
A blank Command Prompt window will open, and after about ten seconds the window will close and Microsoft Store will open automatically.



Step 2: Run the Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter: Select the
Start button, and then select Settings>Update & Security
> Troubleshoot, and then from the list select Windows Store apps > Run the troubleshooter.



Step 3: If you have any non-Microsoft security/antivirus software installed, disable it temporarily and then try installing the game.



Step 4: If the issue persists, then we would suggest you to create a new administrator user account and check, refer this article to
create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10.

If a system restore restores the registry to how it was before, then how come a trial version of a program does not reset?

I do the following in the given order:

1. Create a system restore point. There is a note of what the registry looks like
   
2. Download a program which has a trial of X days
   
3. When that trial runs out, use system restore to return to the previous point before the program installation
   

After these steps, the trial for the program does not reset, even though the registry returned to how it was before. Why is this?
