Legal ways to get Windows 10:
1) Buy it for $100 USD
2) Install free trial version (no customization allowed, probably self destructs eventually)

I think there needs to be a paradigm shift in software design especially within the gaming sector where all major releases are VR compatible as standard.

You can get Window 10 keys legally for cheap. I've bought for as low as $15.

I strongly disagree with this.
Slapping VR onto what is basically what is made to be a 2D experience is a bad idea in general. Making every game support VR would mean a lot of terrible games coming out, bring us a lot of nausea inducing experiences for those who haven't got their VR legs, and for those games that offer multiplayer there would be balancing issues (how would you say balance WASD + mouse movement vs people teleporting in VR?). What you're suggesting just leaves us with an even bigger flood of terrible zombie wave shooters that I personally have zero interest in.
If they can, and it's a good fit, then sure, yes, every such game should offer VR support out of the box. But it's not going to be a good fit for every game. For example, Lucky's Tale ... to me the VR support in that doesn't add anything to the game.
I think what VR needs is more fantastic "made for VR" experiences. Experiences like those offered by Lone Echo and Echo Arena, Robo Recall, SuperHot VR, and Racket Nx. Most of those would not translate well to 2D at all.
