BleepingComputer Review:

It was designed for 64-bit operating systems. If you’re running a 32-bit OS, you can use VirtualBox 5.2 instead. To install VirtualBox 5.2, enter the following: sudo apt-get install virtualbox–5.2 Install VirtualBox Extension Pack. The VirtualBox Extension Pack enhances the functionality of your virtual machines. VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware, targeted at server, desktop and embedded use.

VirtualBox is free and enterprise-ready virtual machine platform that allows you to run other operating systems within Windows. Using VirtualBox you are able to install other operating systems into a virtual computer that can be launched and used directly within Windows. This allows you to run virtually any operating system at the same time while using Windows.

When using VirtualBox, the software is installed on the host machine and then any other virtual machines are considered guests of that host. These guest virtual machines can be running a variety of different operating systems that include older versions of Windows, linux, and even MacOS with some tweaking. Using a program like VirtualBox allows you to perform a variety of tasks from a single computer such as testing operating systems before you install them, run software that only works on older versions of Windows, analyze malware without risk of your normal machine becoming infected, and to develop software for other operating systems. It is also useful for running servers that need to be seperated but are not resource intensive enough to require their own machine.

VirtualBox 5.2.6 (released 2018-01-15)

  1. Download VirtualBox for Linux Hosts. Note: The package architecture has to match the Linux kernel architecture, that is, if you are running a 64-bit kernel, install the appropriate AMD64 package (it does not matter if you have an Intel or an AMD CPU). Mixed installations (e.g. Debian/Lenny ships an AMD64 kernel with 32-bit packages) are not.

This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:

  • GUI: fixed occasional screen corruption when host screen resolutio n is changed
  • User interface: increase proposed disk size when creating new VMs for Windows 7 and newer
  • User interface: various improvements for high resolution screens
  • VMM: Fixed problems using 256MB VRAM in raw-mode VMs
  • Audio: implemented support for audio playback and recording for macOS guests
  • Audio: further timing improvements for Windows 10 guests
  • Linux hosts: fixed problem accessing mini-toolbar under XFCE (bug #17280, contributed by Dusan Gallo)

Currently, virtualization has become unavoidable and is used by many companies.
Indeed, it allows you :

  • to save money by virtualizing multiple servers on the same physical server
  • to have some flexibility (adaptation of system resources according to your needs)
  • and more : What is virtualization, a virtual machine, its advantages, ...

Since InformatiWeb is primarily for individuals, we will introduce the virtualization software for PCs called Oracle VM VirtualBox, because it's the well-known virtualization software for individuals.

For those who are curious, know that VirtualBox was originally created by InnoTek in 2007, then bought by Sun Microsystems in 2008 and finally bought by Oracle in 2009.

1. Why use VirtualBox?

As an individual, VirtualBox will allow you to :

  • resolve compatibility issues (with old programs and/or old games)
  • test your own website or blog on different browsers (if you want to create your own website in HTML / CSS / JS, for example)
  • test your program on different operating systems
  • discover other operating systems (such as : Linux and Mac OS X)
  • and more

In addition, VirtualBox is completely free, open-source and can also allow you to virtualize Mac OS X. What is not the case of its competitor VMware Workstation which is paying and that doesn't allow you (officially) to virtualize Mac OS X.

2. Prerequisites

To be able to create virtual machines, you need a powerful PC with a processor supporting at least processor virtualization (Intel VT-x or AMD-V).
In addition, the processor virtualization (Intel VT-x or AMD-V) must be enabled in the BIOS of your motherboard for this to work.
Finally, note that 32-bit hosts are no longer supported since version 6.0 of VirtualBox.
If you are using a 32-bit version of Windows, Linux, ..., you will need to use VirtualBox 5.2 whose link is in the orange text of this page.

For more information on the requirements, refer to our article about virtualization.

Note that you will obviously need the installation CD/DVD of the operating systems you want to install in your virtual machines.

3. Install VirtualBox

To install VirtualBox, it's very easy.
Go to the 'Downloads' section of the VirtualBox site and download the version adapted to your operating system.

In our case, we have downloaded the version for Windows.

When installing VirtualBox, you will see that some components will also be installed by default :

  • USB support
  • 2 types of networks (which we will see in a future tutorial) : Bridged and Host-Only
  • Python support

Let the wizard create the shortcuts if you wish.

As mentioned above, the wizard will also install 2 types of networks and more specifically 2 additional network adapters.
This will cause a mini network disconnection.

If you are downloading a file, it's likely crash your download.
If this is not the case, simply click Yes to continue installing VirtualBox.

Click Install.

The installation begins.

And some drivers will need to be installed for VirtualBox to work properly on your computer.
Check the 'Always trust software from Oracle Corporation' box and click Install.

Once installed, check the 'Start Oracle VM VirtualBox ...' box and click Finish.

That's what VirtualBox looks like at first start.

4. Install the extension pack for VirtualBox

Virtualbox

By default, VirtualBox has limited functionality.
But, as an individual, you can install the rest of the VirtualBox features for free if you use it for personal purposes only.

Among the features offered by this pack, you will find :

  • support for USB 2.0 and 3.0
  • the support of the webcam connected to the host PC
  • remote desktop support (VirtualBox RDP / VRDP)
  • support to boot a virtual machine on the network (PXE ROM)
  • virtual disk encryption support for your virtual machines (Disk Encryption)
  • the ability to create a virtual hard disk by making it visible as an SSD in the guest OS (the operating system installed in the virtual machine)

To download this extension pack, simply download the 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack' from the VirtualBox site in the same version as the VirtualBox program.

Once downloaded, double-click on it and it will open with VirtualBox.
Click on Installation.
