I'm not sure Windows Sandbox is very well-known. It starts a clean Windows VM quite easily. It's not available in Windows Home, but Pro and other editions have it.

It is quite handy for recording tutorials so you can show how everything works on a clean Windows. I don't think it has snapshots or anything like that, which would be pretty convenient, but it's fine if you can do everything in one go without dying.

Bizarre thing: the Windows VM for instance does not have... Notepad.
