# QEMU

QEMU is a virtual computer, which allows you to run software (even a different operating system) in a window from your own OS.

For example, if you are not using GNU/Linux, it will allow you to try it in a window.

QEMU can load a second operating system from a virtual hard drive (a file on your computer which it uses as a drive) or an .iso file.

GNU/Linux users will want to use QEMU with the -enable-kvm option, otherwise qemu will be slow.

windows users will want to the -enable-hax option, otherwise qemu will be slow.

Either of these options may require virtualisation to be enabled in the bios settings.
