Read the instructions on the page. You need to have the original product key and enter it near the bottom of the page.

For a temporary installation, which this may be?, no need to burn it to anything - just right click it and "mount" it, then run the setup file.

The only alternative is download from a different from operating system platform such as Windows XP, Linux or macOS. Microsoft lets you download the ISO file directly from those operating systems.
