Using a virtual machine

This has worked for a long time.

See https://wiki.sagemath.org/SageAppliance.

Using Sage Debian Live

You can use Sage Debian Live, a bootable USB drive.

You reboot your computer on this usb drive which has Debian and SageMath (with a lot more open source software).

You're not really using Windows in that case.

You might have to change some setting in your BIOS to let your computer boot from a USB drive.

Using SageMathCloud

You can use SageMath online at https://cloud.sagemath.com/ and this frees you from the burden of installing.

Of course, it works only if you have network access, and you might prefer to install on your machine.

There is ongoing work on a personal version of SageMathCloud that people could run on their own computers.

Using SageCell

If you just want to run a calculation online, you can use the Sage Cell server available at sagecell.sagemath.org and aleph.sagemath.org.
