If you'd like to run Linux inside your host OS (usually Mac OSX or Windows), you can use freely available ISOs from all popular Linux distributions, including OSE Linux Here are a few suggestions below:

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

If you're a Mac user, you can use the original installation DVD that came with your computer, to mount in VirtualBox.

Microsoft now offers Windows 10 ISOs for free [1]. This does not expire, but if you are trying to download Windows 10 from an existing Windows 10 computer, you'll need to change the User-Agent in the Browser if you do this.[2]

You can also use Wine to run Windows programs without having Windows OS installed.
