clouds

clouds is a commercial Linux utility for downloading, installing, and running Windows 10 or Windows 11 in a virtual machine. It is intended for Linux users who need to set up a Windows environment without installing Windows directly on their computer.

The application guides users through downloading a Windows DVD image and starts the installation process. It automates most of the installation, which helps reduce the chance of errors during setup. After Windows has been installed, launching clouds boots directly into the Windows operating system.

As a Linux utility, clouds focuses on managing the setup and startup of a Windows virtual machine from within Linux. MirrorNest links to the official release rather than hosting a mirrored copy of the software.
