# How to simulate your local setup

**You can request a Windows Virtual machine with your usual desktop, developer tools and environment.**

1. [Propose a Project](https://nayaone.com/lou0lh9x2qkjngmo3lq4nz09dxorxnzcz51dpqp8/projects/how-propose-project)
2. Add a [Cloud Sandpit](https://nayaone.com/lou0lh9x2qkjngmo3lq4nz09dxorxnzcz51dpqp8/sandpits-for-dev/how-add-cloud-sandpit) and a [Data Science Sandpit](https://nayaone.com/lou0lh9x2qkjngmo3lq4nz09dxorxnzcz51dpqp8/sandpits-for-dev/how-add-data-science-sandpit)
3. Request NayaOne to configure the Cloud Sandpit to the Windows Virtual Machine (VM) you'd like to emulate
4. NayaOne will input the IP address of the Instance into the SaaS Sandpit settings, in place of the traditional URL
5. You can then view your Windows VM in the [SaaS Sandpit](https://nayaone.com/lou0lh9x2qkjngmo3lq4nz09dxorxnzcz51dpqp8/sandpits-for-dev/how-add-saas-sandpit)
