I did manage to find the download link for the OS.

Too good.

Hitting the download now, and will Install It on my VM thereafter.
Much appreciated.

I'm glad I was able to help ^^
I should warn you that the installation process was a little... unusual in my experience. After partitioning the hard drive, the OS starts to take a very long time loading, crashes and redirects you to the blue screen of death, reboots and does some more loading before it finally proceeds with the installation. At least this is how it happened for me. It is wise to be patient and just let it do its thing. The OS's installation will eventually complete, it just takes a little bit of time.

I would have most likely stopped the Installation.

Thanks for the heads-up.
