Hi everyone, I'm setting up my university workflow this weekend and am considering using VMs. I have three main options: reinstall Windows 10 Home with VMware Tools, install Windows Server via Hyper-V and Linux with QEMU, or stick with BlueJ since it's the university's preferred IDE. It works well across platforms and gives flexibility in choosing the OS. What do you think would be best? Thanks!

Yes, Windows 10 includes Hyper-V by default. You can turn it on through the Add and Remove Features settings. Many people prefer using Linux with virtual machines because it is generally more lightweight.

I have Windows 10 Home and don’t have Pro, and I’m sure it doesn’t include Hyper-V by default.

You have Ubuntu and VirtualBox installed. The goal is to develop or test on one OS and then run tests on others via VMs. Choose the setup that’s simplest to launch first.
