VMware Workstation Pro is a desktop hypervisor that lets you run one or more virtual machines on a single Windows PC, each with its own operating system and isolated from the host. It's commonly used for testing software, running a different OS without dual-booting, or trying out configurations safely.

Since November 2024, Broadcom offers VMware Workstation Pro free for personal, non-commercial use — a paid license is still required for commercial deployments.
