You want to test Linux, Windows 8, or any other operating system but you do not want to create partitions, manage multiboots, etc, operations that can be dangerous to your current data.
By using virtualization, you can emulate one or more computers under your Windows where you can install any version of Windows or Linux, without running any risk to your system and its data. Practical to test new features or software you do not know the origin.
VirtualBox is a free software in French that will allow you to create personalized virtual machines. You will be able to choose the amount of RAM to be allocated to a machine, the amount of disk space, video memory, USB devices and network connections that can be used, and so on. It will then be enough to launch a virtual machine to find yourself on a new virtual machine, in a simple Windows window.
A single key (Ctrl right) lets you switch between a virtual machine and your host computer.
Note that VirtualBox lets you enjoy your Internet connection in your virtual machines and allows you to share files between different virtual machines and your computer.
If your processor allows it, VirtualBox can also take advantage of the virtualization features it incorporates to accelerate virtual machines.
