How to get WHQL certification for a file driver for multiple Windows versions?

I made a small file protector driver by VC++, but I see Microsoft require all drivers to be signed with WHQL to install on most of latest Windows versions. I checked Hardware Lab Kit (HLK) and HCK documents and it seems the only way to get the WHQL certification is to install the HLK/HCK on every Windows version I want users to use the driver on. That means I have to install every Windows server versions and Desktop versions such as Win7/8/10.

I am an indie developer and already have a EV certification to sign the driver, so is there an easier way to get WHQL certification for a file driver for multiple Windows versions? Or there is no way to create and distribute filefilter drivers by indie developers in the future?
