How to Use VirtualBox (Beginners Guide)




In a recent video in the “Free Software” series, I showed you VirtualBox, which is a free and open source solution to be able to run other operating systems virtually on your PC. In this beginner’s guide, I will show you how to set-up and use VirtualBox. In addition, I’ll also show you how to install and run Ubuntu, which is one of the most popular of the Linux distributions.

- READ THIS FIRST - When installing other guest operating systems using VirtualBox, you may need to adjust the memory (RAM), and CPU, which I showed you in this video. If you are creating a Windows or Mac guest OS, you may need to adjust some of the settings higher than you would with Linux. On older computers, you may need to enable virtualization in the Bios. If you are experiencing issues with adjusting the size of the guest OS as shown in the video, you may need to install the "Guest Additions" for VirtualBox. Here's a link to the instructions. https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E36500_01/E36502/html/qs-guest-additions.html Thanks for watching :)
- Thank you for this tip can you do this on PearOs?

- i have a Q jus to confirm , this video explained optical disk installation. but how do i install without external hard disk???????
- Ja tam tu widziałem, skarpety chłopięce hurtownia , można poczytać.
- when I try to create a new machine I get an error saying that the machine folder cannot be created in the parent folder and that I need to check if the parent folder exists. do you know what I can do to fix this?
- Questions:
1) When you hit "SHUTDOWN", does that reallocate the virtual resoures (memory and Hard Disk Space) and CPU Cores to your host machine?

2) After shutting down, I imagine you can just Restart your virtual "session" in VirtualBox and run Ubuntu (as used in this example) rather than have to re-install Ubunto to the vm, correct?
- Let me just say that this video saved my life (not literally) this guy is awesome


- I'm sorry, I'm confused. I'm a very nervous person when it comes to data, and I don't know what could happen if I accidentally open the .iso file. Can somebody help?

(Edit: Here's something I need to say.. I used to know all about operating systems and virtual machines, but it's been 3 years since I touched virtualbox.)
- Great Well Explained!
- Great tutorial mate. Awesome for us newbies to this type of software. This was three years ago I'm wondering what version of linux you would recommend today for myself running iMac Big Sur? If it wasn't for Logic Pro I would be done with apple all together but this looks like a great option for me to continue with Logic. I was looking into an external hard drive option but this looks even better right?
Thanks again 🙏
- Outstanding guide. Clear and helpful.
- Installing VitualBox will delete all my apps and files?
No it won't delete your apps and files, the VM has no access to your host's hardware. It is running on a virtual drive that you created for it.

- so you said you cant go half way on your processors but what should i do if i only have 2 cores
- Good Video. No Errors here.
- Question: I have a new computer with Windows 10, and I connected the previous hard disk from my old computer as a secondary drive inside my new one, and still has all the previous data in it, including Windows 7 64bits............can I add this secondary drive to a Virtual Drive without losing any data in it, and not requiring to install Windows 7 again in that drive?
- I'm having trouble with sizing and going full screen. No matter how I try to resize the window, the actual aspect ratio/resolution itself always stays the same size. This even happens when I try to go full screen. I've also had this problem with other programs (such as Steam), but those usually end up resolving on their own. I feel like this is a stupid question, but can anyone help?
- My question is why V-Box needs to reset my network settings? I have mine configured to essentially have no "buffer" so that when a network call is made from my pc or an app it goes through without being delayed for any reason, I'm just wondering because it's a pain in the ass to continuously redo.
- It just says Fatal No Bootable mediumn found, System halted!
- Thank you for this guide! It was very simple and easy to understand!
- Do I need a pendrive to install Ubuntu this way
