What is a Virtual Machine? (Álvaro Murcia)

 A Virtual Machine can be considered like a copy of an operating system (OS), for example WIndows 10 or Linux. To create a Virtual Machine you will need a software that is able to run the OS like VMware or VirtualBox, this one is free so you just need to download it and install on your PC. The second thing you need is the ISO image wich is the file that will install the OS.

The Virtual Machine is a separate unit from your computer, so you can use it without causing any damage to your computer and by this reason they are used to search security breaches, "destroy" the Virtual Machine and tests.

Another thing that they have is that if the machine stops working, just simply delete it from your disk and you can create another one completely new with diferent parameters like hard disk, CPU or RAM memory, or if you ran out of memory in the hard disk just simply add more by changing it

I hope you learned about them

See you soon! :)
