I've historically used VirtualBox. the Windows Sandbox doesn't provide
access to USB devices so that's a no-no for me.

Is Hyper V a good alternative to VirtualBox?

I've never used virtualbox so can't comment on it.

Hyper-v is bundled with Windows 10. You do have to enable it in the
control panel and also enable virtualisation in the motherboard's BIOS.

For Tim, VirtualBox does have some 'pre-installed' OSes.
