What is Virtualization ??
You can run multiple operating systems on one physical machine .
For example, I work with software VMware Workstation
can be used ISO files to install any operating system possible.
In addition you can download files ready to use machines.
example ubuntu desktop iso file

example Kali Linux VMware Images:
