How to bypass/unlock product activation key for Windows 10 (Hyper V)?

Question

So I installed a Windows 10 .iso file in order to run my Hyper V virtual machine. I run my VM and it says that I need to activate the product key for this version of Windows 10.

How to unlock the product activation key for Windows 10?

I have tried to do the "I don't have a key" option but when it checks for the files, it isn't there.
So, if the only way is to bypass it by saying "I don't have a key" how do I transfer files from PC host to VM?

Hi,
So you need to install Windows 10 in a virtual environment, and don’t want to activate Windows, right?
In most cases, you should be able to skip the product key page during setup and complete the installation successfully. However, in some cases although the reason is not clearly known, Windows 10 Setup won’t allow you to skip the Product keys page.
In that situation, you can use the generic product keys for Windows 10 officially released by Microsoft. These generic keys work with any ISO or DVD/USB Windows setup media.
