With a virtual machine, you can run an operating system like an application inside your current operating system. These are called virtual machine because they are basically emulating other operating system but they are not really interacting with the system like a true operating system would. Bottom line is that with virtual machines software, you can use Windows like an application inside Linux.
Unlike regular applications, it will consume lots of RAM. This way, you can use Windows specific software and program inside Linux, without the need to install Windows altogether.
