Virtualization

Good afternoon!
I don't know what I'm looking for. Maybe solutions similar to Docker but under Win?
I conditionally have 3 computers, at different times I am behind them ... For example, for the weekend at the dacha, at home and at work. I want to have the same working environment on all computers (a common set of software, IDE + EP + Git + additional components), but at the same time not clog my home computer (it seems to be only for games and I use more than one, I don’t want what would be on it hung webserver and something else in the background). Here, whatever one may say, the idea of a docker would fit nicely - I took containers, copied them to 3 PCs, one container for data with cloud synchronization. Started when needed, turned off when not. And it does not hang in the system and does not dissolve its "roots" in the system.
As an option, of course, you can put a working system with the second system, but these are reboots ... Maybe some kind of analogue of Parallels for MAC, it allowed you to switch between OS (or virtualized somehow transparently) and did not particularly eat resources ... In general, I don’t even know, maybe do you use something similar?

Simple solutions are out of fashion. Everyone needs pain, no one even noticed that it turned into an addiction :) How is it? :)
We use a laptop and do not worry, but containers with the necessary environment are deployed on it.

vagrant + virtualbox + ansible

Well so this. Virtualok under Win is no less than under *nix.

To keep my work always with me, I bought myself a Surface Pro 2. When I worked in the office, I only needed an additional monitor. At home it's the same. I set it up completely for myself once and everything works everywhere. All memory is synchronized with the cloud => it will not be difficult to restore if lost, which allows you to carry the gadget on all trips. True, I don’t play games at all, so I don’t need such a special division into work / home. Yes, and I use this gadget all alone.

I mostly run Linux servers on virtual machines without Gui. So VirtualBox does a great job. The performance loss is minimal.
