I still unfortunately need a windows VM as backup Is it possible to declaratively setup a VM given a path/url to a virtual disk image

Maybe Vagrant might be helpful.

Can vagrant do windows well? Was under the impression it wasn't really meant for it and not sure how licensing would work for the windows instance

Currently using the key built into my machine, if there's a way to automatically pull that and shove it into the VM that would be perfect

Never tried myself. There seems to be some stuff on https://app.vagrantup.com/boxes/search?order=desc&page=1&provider=&q=windows&sort=updated&utf8=%E2%9C%93. Do not know if this will be helpful or fits your needs.

Might work if I build my own image for it, don't really want to use virtualbox it's never really performed well for me
