The six best virtual machine software

## Speaking of Virtual machines, I believe those of you who are technical staff will not be unfamiliar with them. There are many usage scenarios for virtual machines, such as setting up a test environment, installing Linux on a Windows system or running a Windows system on a Mac machine, and can even be used to conduct security experiments.

The key advantage of a virtual machine is that it is completely isolated from the native system, which allows us to do various tests on the virtual machine without worrying about the crash of the host machine.

Below, I will introduce the six best virtualization software currently on the market for individual users, so that you can make a better choice.

Microsoft Hyper-V
