Here we’ll show you how to easily get the version of Windows you want to test and how to quickly install it in a Virtual Machine so you can see how it works and whether you like it.ĭownloading The Version of Windows You Want to TestĪpart from the virtual machine software itself, you obviously need a version of Windows which you can use inside it. The best and least destructive way to test drive a new operating system is in a virtual environment. Messing around with backups, Master Boot Records, multiboot menus and drive partitions can be a dangerous and time wasting, especially if you don’t plan to test the new operating system out for long or you’re inexperienced in these areas. Thankfully, this doesn’t have to be the case.
In the main, it’s simply due to believing there’s a lot of work involved and they will have to erase or tamper with their current operating system to do so. Most users don’t try out a new version of Windows before actually buying a license or a prebuilt computer with a license already installed. If you’re a Windows 7, Vista or even an XP user, you might want or need to upgrade and install something newer, whether it’s from XP to 7, or you’re a Windows 7 user looking to see if you’ll like the desktop friendlier Windows 10. For Windows 8 or 8.1 users, this may be good news if you’re currently one of the many not entirely happy with features like the Start Screen or the heavy reliance on the Modern UI.
This will please a lot of people because many of the changes in Windows 8 that made it so unpopular are being scaled back or even reversed completely.
Most of you will have heard by now that Microsoft’s latest operating system, Windows 10, is now in testing phase and begins the long road to a final release sometime in 2015.
