OSBoxes

If you don’t want to install secondary OS alongside with your main OS but still want to use/try it, then you can use VirtualBox or VMware on your host operating system to run virtual machine.

VirtualBox tutorial

  1. Download an image you're interested in
  2. Unzip it
  3. Click New
  4. Create the VM as you'd normally do (but remember to match the bit version of the image you've downloaded)
  5. When creating the Virtual Hard disk, instead click Use an Existing Virtual Hard Disk File and pick the downloaded .vdi file
  6. Continue with the setup as normal
  7. Fine tune the VM's settings
  8. Run the VM

*What are the credentials for the VM images?
