Windows 11 Virtual Machine (VM)

This lets you run one OS inside another—like opening Windows inside macOS or vice versa.

✅ Best for:

  • Quick switching between OSes

  • Testing software or settings

  • Avoiding partitioning your hard drive

Tools:

  • VMware Workstation or VirtualBox (free)

  • Parallels Desktop (for Mac users)

Steps:

  1. Install a VM tool.

  2. Download the ISO of the second OS.

  3. Create a new virtual machine and allocate RAM, CPU, and disk space.

  4. Install the OS inside the VM.
