I don't remember the issues now, but at least in Win 7 for my needs at 
the time there were some show-stoppers with the built-in virtual 
system from Microsoft. In contrast, Virtualbox simply installed and 
ran, no fuss, no muss, with just the right set of user controls and 
operating options.

The built-in "Hyper-V" might be worth a try under Win10, but to be 
honest, I don't entirely trust MS. Remember, they're the ones who 
through their OS issues for Framers effectively started this 
conversation in the first place! YMMV.
