One way or another, you need to install an operating system...
Apart from a handful of very specific circumstances, Microsoft treats
virtual machines as exactly the same as physical machines in terms of
licensing.
Whether you choose to remain compliant with Microsoft's EULA is, of course,
your decision - however, you will be required to authenticate the copy of
the OS after 30 days just as if you'd installed it on a physical machine...
