Or just fire up your OS's favourite hypervisor (Hyper-V for Windows, KVM on Linux, etc) and run multiple instances.
In fact, with a single Windows VM, you can keep a tree of alternate realities (i.e., checkpoints), and jump back and forth between different scenarios. For example, running 4.10, you can take a checkpoint, install 5.0, test, then revert to 4.10, install 4.14, work, jump back to 5.0, and so on. Checkpointing isn't only about reversion to past situations -- it can be used to manage alternative presents too.
