I haven't looked at VB in a long time, but I have a real need for a

I now have lots of memory and disk space which was always a significant
issue when I used it before, and my use case is much different. Then I
was trying to show Windows users how they could run Linux, now I want to
help Windows folks to use a new programming language that was developed
on *nix systems.
Thus my question is: Has anyone use a recent version of VB to run
Windows with satisfactory results? (Note I still have a legal copy of
Win 10 on a CD as well as a portable DVD player with a USB connector.)
Thank you my fellow Debian users!

VirtualBox is not supported on Debian 12.
There are alternatives that include:
- KVM/QEMU
- VMWare Workstation Pro (which is now free for private use)
In my experience KVM/QEMU is fairly stable. The VMWare product not so much.
Given everything is virtual you can easily try all options in an hour or
two.
