There are no VMs running on the Robin-PC. That seems to be an uniquely Will problem. She does have some similarities in that there's personality files, skills and all that stuff but a keen observer might notice that any time Tosh switches windows or looks up something else, the previous thing he was looking at becomes garbled non-sense. And once Tosh notices that, other inconsistencies become pretty obvious pretty fast. The CPU, RAM and disc usage is all non-sense that's just made to look right as it's actively being observed. Where the Will-puter is janky but internally consistent, Robin makes more sense on the surface but it's because she's actively imitating how a computer looks and works. Will becomes the computer, slave to his own interpretations and rules whereas Robin not even remotely reaches that level of commitment to the role.
