有几款免费且广泛使用的虚拟机软件:

1. VirtualBox
   - 由Oracle开发，开源跨平台
   - 支持多种操作系统
   - 适合个人和开发者使用
   - 官方下载：<a href="https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads" target="_blank">https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads</a>

2. VMware Workstation Player(只能运行单个虚拟机)
   - VMware Workstation Player 是一款在 Windows 或 Linux PC 上运行<span style="color:red;font-weight:bold;">单个虚拟机</span>的理想实用程序。
   - 免费版本可供非商业、个人和家庭使用。官方还鼓励学生和非营利组织利用此产品。
   - 性能优秀，支持广泛
   - <span style="color:red;font-weight:bold;">该版本不包含快照等高级功能</span>
   - 官方介绍：<a href="https://www.vmware.com/info/workstation-player/evaluation" target="_blank">https://www.vmware.com/info/workstation-player/evaluation</a>
   - 官方下载：<a href="https://www.vmware.com/go/getplayer-win" target="_blank">https://www.vmware.com/go/getplayer-win</a>
  
3. VMware Workstation Pro
   - VMware被博通收购之后，Workstation Pro和Fusion Pro产品<span style="color:red;font-weight:bold;">对个人免费</span>使用了。官方说明页：<a href="https://blogs.vmware.com/workstation/2024/05/vmware-workstation-pro-now-available-free-for-personal-use.html" target="_blank">查看</a>
   - 免费版和付费版有什么区别，官方的说法是：使用商业许可证时，产品用户界面中不会出现“本产品仅供个人使用”的文字。除此之外，功能上没有任何差异。
   - 博通官方下载：很麻烦，需要先注册博通账号。这里有一篇参考教程：<a href="https://blog.csdn.net/youxiaxiaomage/article/details/139380099" target="_blank">博通下载教程</a>
   - vm原官方下载：<a href="https://www.vmware.com/go/getworkstation-win" target="_blank">vmware官方下载</a>(这个链接下载的不是最新版而且也不是个人免费版)
   - 网上共享的一个专业版密钥：NZ4RR-FTK5H-H81C1-Q30QH-1V2LA
   - 果核下载(非个人免费版)：
	- <a href="https://www.ghxi.com/vmware17.html" target="_blank">17.5.2 官方版+激活密钥</a>
	- <a href="https://www.ghxi.com/workstationlite17.html" target="_blank">17.5.2 免激活精简版</a>
   - <span style="color:red;font-weight:bold;">第三方托管的个人免费版17.5.2(已验证过md5，与官方一致)</span>
	- <a href="https://dl.bobpony.com/software/vmware/workstation/VMware-workstation-full-17.5.2-23775571.zip" target="_blank">bobpony</a>
	- 该链接来自推特一个博主的分享：<a href="https://x.com/TheBobPony/status/1790436459477934392" target="_blank">TheBobPony</a>
   - 总结：<span style="color:red;font-weight:bold;">目前看专业版其实很好激活，官方所谓的个人免费版走官方途径很难下，可以利用上面的第三方链接。而且一点，这个免费版的安装包大小远远大于专业版的安装包。</span>
