We have already mentioned that VirtualBox is a virtualization tool that allows users to run
multiple operating systems on a single physical computer. VirtualBox is an easy and powerful
way to do it if you're interested in trying out a new operating system or just want to run multiple
systems at once. This guide will show you how to install VirtualBox on a Windows machine.
The first step in installing VirtualBox is to download the latest version of the software from the
official website: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads.
Once the download is complete, double-click the installer file to launch the installation wizard.
Click "Next" to proceed through the introduction screens.
Step 3: Accept the License Agreement
Review the license agreement and click "I Agree" to accept it.
Next, select the shortcut you want to create and click "Next."
Step 5: Choose the Installation Location.
Click "Install" to begin the installation process. Wait for the installation to complete.
When the installation is complete, click "Finish" to complete the installation and launch
VirtualBox.
How to Install Ubuntu on VirtualBox?
VirtualBox is one of the most powerful virtualization tools that enables users to run different
operating systems on a single physical computer. VirtualBox is a great way to do it if you're
trying out Ubuntu or just want to test out a new application in a safe environment. In this guide,
we'll show you how to install Ubuntu on VirtualBox.
Next, you'll need to download the Ubuntu installation ISO file. You can download the latest
version of Ubuntu from the official website: https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop.
Step 2: Create a New Virtual Machine
With VirtualBox installed and the Ubuntu ISO file downloaded, it's time to create a new virtual
machine. Launch VirtualBox and click the "New" button in the top menu to do this. Give your
virtual machine a name, select "Linux" as the type and "Ubuntu (64-bit)" as the version, and
click "Next."
Next, you'll need to assign some memory (RAM) to the virtual machine. The amount of
memory you need will depend on the version of Ubuntu you're installing and the applications
you plan to run. You should allocate at least 512MB of memory to the virtual machine. Click
"Next" when you're done.
Step 4: Create a Virtual Hard Disk
Next, you'll need to create a virtual hard disk for the virtual machine. This is where the virtual
machine will store its files and data. Select "Create a virtual hard disk now" and click "Create."
In the next screen, select "VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image)" as the file type and click "Next."
Next, you'll need to allocate some disk space to the virtual machine. The amount of space you
need will depend on the version of Ubuntu you're installing and the applications you plan to
run. You should allocate at least 20GB of disk space to the virtual machine. Click "Create"
when you're done.
Step 6: Configure the Virtual Machine
With the virtual machine created, it's time to configure it. Click the "Settings" button in the top
menu and select the "System" tab. In the "Motherboard" section, make sure the "Extended
Features" options are checked. This will allow you to boot from the Ubuntu ISO file in the next
step.
With the virtual machine configured, it's time to boot from the Ubuntu ISO file. When
prompted, click the "Start" button in the top menu and select the Ubuntu ISO file. The virtual
machine will boot from the ISO file and begin the Ubuntu installation process.
Follow the prompts to install Ubuntu on the virtual machine. The installation process is
straightforward and should only take a few minutes. When installing, click "Restart Now" to
boot into your new Ubuntu virtual machine.
