# Virtual Machine
|
||
|
|
In computing, a virtual machine (VM) is the virtualization or [emulation](../emulation/Emulation.md) of a computer system. Virtual machines are based on computer architectures and provide the functionality of a physical computer.

Virtual Machine can be used to run operating systems in an isolated environment. A similiar concept is [Emulation](../emulation/Emulation.md), which allows different hardware to be simulated.
