Windows Laptop

OK, I need a Windows laptop to do some trouble shooting/remote coding with this new headunit install for the BMW. I do not have a Windows laptop or any other kind of windows machine at this point other than my work laptop, which is obviously locked down tight.

What is the easiest and/or cheapest way around this dumb and extremely annoying problem? Boot camp on the Mac, I guess, but that would mean buying a copy of Windows? I don't really want to spend the money to do that. Nor do I want to buy a new laptop just for this one task.

What a pain in the ass.

EDIT: Should I just buy something like this and take it back when I'm done?
