    Test Windows 10 on a Virtual Machine
    Upgrading to a new operating system can be an intimidating undertaking that massively disrupts your daily workflow. And considering the dramatic interface changes introduced in Windows 10, you may not want to invest in Microsoft's latest OS without first giving it a thorough shakedown.

    Fortunately, there's an easy, hassle-free way to test-drive Windows 10. Using a program called VirtualBox and the new Windows 10, you can try out the new OS for free, without disturbing your current operating system.

    If you’re running Windows, Virtualbox is probably your best bet. It’s free, open-source, runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux, the interface is easy to use, and it supports snapshots.

    Setup requires a more-than-entry-level PC, since you'll be running two resource-hungry OSes at once. But a virtual machine is well worth the effort, because it means fewer headaches than fully upgrading to beta software or running a second version of Windows on a drive partition. Also, if a VM gets a virus or starts acting weird, you can just delete it and reinstall.

    To download Windows 10, go to Windows 10.

    Windows 10 Activation on Virtual Machine

    I have a Windows 10 computer. I created a virtual machine and installed my copy of Windows 10 Home. It is asking for activation. Do I have to buy another copy of Windows 10 for the virtual machine? I will be using the virtual machine to test Windows Insider
    builds.

    Virtual box and Win 10

    unfortunately you would have to purchase a second copy of windows 10, a virtual machine is considered a different device and requires a license of its own.

    you can install windows 10 which will give you a short time (without activating) to test your application.

    or you could join the insider program (and install insider previews in the virtual machine) and continue to test your app in the pre release versions of windows
