As a result, I often need to re-uninstall some software, and then install another part of the software. It was very troublesome, and then I thought of a virtual machine, directly allocate a little memory to a virtual machine, and a virtual machine runs a set of environments. Which set of environment is used to start which set of virtual machines. The installation process of Windows and Linux is similar, hereby record the process of installing the Windows system on the virtual machine [whole hand rubbing record]
