hello, as you can see here: hyperv is the virtualization required.
I think the best for you will be build your own vm either by hand (gui + vagrant package) or packer.. plus, please take into consideration the licensing, that microsoft vm is created by microsoft, so is ok to use because you ACK the agreement on download, etc, but I am not sure how the trial licenses work (if you download those 180 days isos), the same apply to any softwar with licenses (say redhat OS, Oracle software, etc) so not sure you can just use any vm on the wild, or you can create and distribute, etc thas one the reasons that explain why is difficult to find ms windows vms this project have a full set of templates to get you started in case you want to build your own boxes https://github.com/joefitzgerald/packer-windows any question, feel free to ask Alvaro.
