    Hi,

    Windows Sandbox has the following properties:

    Part of Windows: Everything required for this feature is included in Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise. There's no need to download a VHD.
    Pristine: Every time Windows Sandbox runs, it's as clean as a brand-new installation of Windows.
    Disposable: Nothing persists on the device. Everything is discarded when the user closes the application.
    Secure: Uses hardware-based virtualization for kernel isolation. It relies on the Microsoft hypervisor to run a separate kernel that isolates Windows Sandbox from the host.
    Efficient: Uses the integrated kernel scheduler, smart memory management, and virtual GPU.

    For more information, please check the following article about the difference between Windows 10 Sandbox and virtualization technology:
