Microsoft has updated its Virtual Machine Builds (Hyper-V, VMWare, VirtualBox and Parallels) including developer tools, WSL (Ubuntu pre-installed), and other stuff. These VMs can be used for free until the 90 day trial expires. After this trial period, you’ll have to activate Windows just like any other Windows installation.
