On Mac, there are solutions like VMWare Fusion and Parallels, but, VMWare Fusion has no near-term plans to support x86 architecture VMs on M1 solutions. VMWare Workstation Player is another option. Note: While this guide uses VirtualBox, it is not the only free VM software available. Luckily, setting up Windows 10 in a VM isn't particularly difficult.

If you have to deal with files you can't trust, need to test multiple OS installations on the same system, or need access to the operating system without wanting to use it as a daily driver, using it a VM offers access to its features and capabilities without worrying about needing to keep the OS installation around long-term. If their site thinks you're not on Windows, they'll offer you direct download links to the ISOs valid for 24h.There are a lot of practical reasons to set up an OS like Windows 10 in a VM rather than using it as a native installation. The reason is that if they see you use Windows they'll offer you their downloader EXE, which can only download to drive C: and if it's full (which is usual when using a small SSD drive as the main one) you can't download even if you have a secondary drive with several free TBs, since you can't choose another drive. I used this one for Chrome: (User-Agent Switcher for Chrome) You just have to either use a non-Windows PC (Linux, Mac, Android, whatever.) or use a user-agent spoofer tool so Microsoft's website thinks you're not in Windows.

There's another option to download the ISOs from Microsoft.
