Or just click on the option that appears in Bitcoin Core?

I'm confused Tongue

I expected this to require installing additional software.

Is it viable to use a VPN system that allows SOCKS5?

Bitcoin Core will just work with any normal VPN service (but that's not Tor).

Actually, I was hoping. Tongue

I mean, do you need to have Tor installed on your PC or not?

Yes, you need to have Tor installed and running. You also can configure Tor running as service / run on boot for convenience.

By any chance, I have VPN that gives me onion IP. Would it be an option?

I don't know the answer. However it's first time VPN claim they can give onion address (rather than allow or can access onion address without Tor Browser).
