Cheapest way to create VPN tunnel without using Windows built-in features?

Hi,

So I have an office with 2 machines at one location and another machine at another. I'd like the one computer to be able to connect to the network at the other location. I really want to avoid using the built-in VPN feature of Windows. All three machines are Windows, so after doing some homework I've come up with possibly the following:

Spin up a Virtual Machine and install OpenVPN Access (comes with two free device connections for testing, but not sure how much that would screw things up making a Linux VPN Server in a VM on a Windows machine. Seems like the networking part would get a little tricky here with Virtual NIC etc).

There really isn't much more support unless you want to buy expensive networking gear that's basically overkill for our business. Just need to connect one machine to a network on two other machines in a Windows Environment.

Does anyone have any unique ideas I failed to look over / see on Google?

Thanks in advance!

TLDR; Have two Windows boxes at one location and 1 Windows box at another location. Needing to connect the one machine to the network at the office with the the Windows boxes.
