Lets start by the beginning

Just download the installer and follow the instructions. Normally you don't have to change anything , but you should read the options that are displayed on the screen to know what you are accepting and where the virtual machines will be saved. SteConfigure the virtual machine Once you have installed VirtualBox you can create your first virtual machine. There is no limit to the number of virtual machines to install, but it is recommended to run them one at a time, not several at the same time . To create the virtual machine, click on New in the main VirtualBox window. The wizard will guide you step by step. First, you have to give the machine a name, such as “VirtualBox Test”. Then choose the operating system and its version from the extensive list.

Then you will have to choose how much RAM to allocate to the virtual machine. You will see that the selection bar marks in color the minimum required, the desirable and the optimum. At most, you can allocate all of the RAM, but be aware that this will starve and affect your computer's operating system. The amount that appears by default is fine, and if it seems low mobile number list you can adjust it later when you have tested the virtual machine. You also have to choose the size of the virtual disk . In this case, that drive will be a file that pretends to be a hard drive. You can create it new or use an existing one in case of using an already created virtual machine. As for the format of that disk , it depends on whether you are going to use it in other virtualization programs apart from VirtualBox. The default option, VDI, is desirable if you only use VirtualBox. You can also give it a fixed size or that it grows the more files you save. And finally, you have to give it a name , usually the same as the virtual machine.




Step tart the virtual machine for the first time You have already created the machine. Now you have to start it to enjoy it. However, you still have one important step left, since a new virtual machine is like a new computer: it does not have an operating system. Before starting the machine you have to make sure you have the operating system installer . In the case of free systems such as Linux, Solaris or FreeBSD, you can obtain a free ISO image from their official pages. For Windows, you'll need the physical disk or ISO image for newer versions. In order for the virtual machine to detect this installer when starting it, you will have to select the virtual machine in the main VirtualBox window, click on Parameters and Storage , click on the icon in the form.
