Unlike other virtual machines each time your start a new Windows Sandbox instance it is ready to go immediately. The “guest” in this case is a ready-to-go copy of the same version of Windows as the one installed on your computer. So, it is like a virtual machine but, it does not have any of the setup steps such as installing the “guest” operating system. What is the difference between Windows Sandbox and a virtual machine such as VMWARE or Hyper-V? If you do not see the option for Windows Sandbox check you are not using the Windows Home version which doesn’t support this feature. If you are already running similar virtualization systems such as VMWARE, Hyper-V or VirtualBox you should find BIOS changes are unnecessary and it will just be a matter of ticking the checkbox shown above. You check how you can do this at your computer manufacturer’s website. If the option is grayed out, usually, you need to open your computer’s BIOS and enable hardware virtualization to support the Windows Sandbox.
