Hello, you're looking for free virtual machine software options. VirtualBox is a popular choice. Other suggestions include VMware Workstation and Parallels Desktop.
Windows seems suitable for your setup. You have a Ryzen 3700X and 48GB of RAM, which are solid specs. VMware is an option, but you should compare it with other options to see which fits your needs best.
On Windows, the main choices are Hyper-V and VirtualBox. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. For running Windows inside a VM, I recommend Hyper-V. If you're working with Linux, VirtualBox is the better option. However, Windows isn't ideal as a virtualization host. For more than just testing, consider moving to Linux and using Redhat KVM with QEMU. Tools like VirtManager can help manage everything, offering more capabilities than what's available on Windows.
Sure, just to clarify. I understand you're experiencing some confusion. Feel free to ask for further explanation.
