A bit of research indicates that the two most popular free VM
contenders are VMware and Microsoft's Hyper-V. Can anyone recommend
one over the other? Are there better choices?
A third choice is VirtualBox. I just checked the website for it and it
is available for Windows. I also noticed it is from Oracle and some
people don't like dealing with Oracle products. I've been using
VirtualBox under Linux to run an older version of Windows so I can run
a 3D modelling program that is Windows only.
One of the things that pushed me towards VirtualBox was ease of setup.
I first looked at VM Ware but found it confusing to determine which
version I would have needed to use.
I too recommend Virtual Box, and the large memory you mentioned (32GB)
You may have fun finding large memories: all too many devices have
soldered-in small memory chips, to "encourage" you to buy a whole new
machine when you need more.
