The Concept Of VM. What Is A Virtual Machine (VM)? For Linux And Windows

A virtual machine is a computer program creates a computer with virtual hardware on a computer. So in that way you can run two Operating Systems on one computer. So you can run Windows on Linux or Mac OS X and vice-versa. There are several virtual machine programs available in the market as well as freeware also such as Vitual Box, VMware Player, VMware Fusion, and Parallels Desktop.

Vitual Box is very popular because it’s a free ware works well on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Also, many more available Linux has KVM (the Integrated Virtualization), Microsoft’s Hyper-V. Its setup is very easy just download a virtual program you liked and open it just follow the instructions and give default OS, at the end insert installation disk. You can work with just like an application.
