You can download and use optional images from VM Settings > Optional VMs. The VM name shows the OS type. O16 in the name means Microsoft Office 2016 is installed.
The following software is installed on each pre-installed Windows guest image:
- Adobe Flash Player
- Adobe Reader
- Java Run Time
- MSVC Run Time
- Microsoft .Net Framework
- Microsoft Office software (only on certain VM types)

You can build custom VM images but you must have software licenses for your custom images.
