Does it affect the main hard drive or runs separately like a virtual machine?

It depends what you want to do. If you only want to install Ubuntu, you can select 'Install Ubuntu', otherwise select 'Try Ubuntu ...'. (Running a live session is the same as 'Trying Ubuntu'.)

If you want to just try Ubuntu without making any changes to your existing system, go for Try Ubuntu (It does not run like a virtual machine, but will not change anything on your disks unless you manually do that), but if you want to install Ubuntu for permanently using it as one of your operating systems, then go for Install Ubuntu.
- If you
Try Ubuntu, then no changes are made to disk (except if you make manual changes after ubuntu boots up from the live USB. - If you choose
Install Ubuntu, it will start up a sequence of steps with customizations where you can choose which partition of your disks will be modified/formatted and for what purpose.

Try Ubuntu without installing
This not a virtual installation. It works completely from within the Live USB. The keyword is Try. The purpose of this option is trying and finding out:
Does Ubuntu work with your computer?
- Does the keyboard and mouse work?
- Does the screen display the desktop as expected?
- Does sound work?
- Does WiFi or Ethernet wired connection work? & Can you get on the Internet?
Can you figure out how to use Ubuntu?
- How do I open an app?
- How do I see a list of installed apps?
- How do I find a document?
- How do I get on the Internet?
- How do I install an app?
- Is it easy or hard for me?
- Do you like this user interface?
Without installing
This means that this option will not make any changes in your hard drive. Ubuntu will work from the USB.
This also means nothing will be saved.
- Any file you create, song you download will be lost when you turn the PC off or reboot.
- Any apps you install while trying will be gone when you turn the PC off or reboot.
- Any changes in settings, like WiFi settings will be gone when you turn the PC off or reboot.
There is an exception. There is a way to create the Live USB with "persistence" which will allow you to save somethings. But this is not the default.
Install Ubuntu
This option will take you straight to the installation process. It will modify your hard drive and either delete everything in it, or let you keep Windows and create new partitions in your hard drive to Install Ubuntu.
This will not be a virtual installation. You may need to take some steps from inside Windows to prepare your system before you boot from the Live USB and choose "Install Ubuntu"
