VirtualBox is a virtual machine application that allows users to install multiple operating systems. For example, if you are currently using Windows and want to run Linux OS without deleting Windows OS, this app could be the perfect solution for you.
By using this free application made by Oracle, users can also install many operating systems as long as the storage space and PC memory are able to accommodate them.
Not only that, by using this application you also don't need to bother using a PC to install another OS, just by using VirtualBox the operating system can be installed on the same PC. Actually there are many virtual engine applications that you can use, but many users prefer VirtualBox for various reasons.
Advantages of VirtualBox
The number of users who prefer VirtualBox is certainly not without reason, here are some of the advantages of VirtualBox that you need to know:
1. Portability
VirtualBox can be used on most 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems including Windows. This application also allows users to run virtual machines on one host on another with different host operating systems. For example, you can create a virtual machine on Windows and run it on Linux.
Apart from that, virtual machines can also be imported and exported using the Open Virtualization Format (OVF), and you can even import OVFs created using different virtualization software.
2. Does not require hardware virtualization
Unlike other virtual machine software, using VirtualBpx you can use it on older hardware devices.
3. Guest Additions
VirtualBox can be installed on the guest system to increase performance and provide additional communication integration with the host system. After installing Guest Additions, the virtual machine can adjust automatically.
Apart from that, a “shared folder” will also be added automatically, through which users can access files from the guest machine's host system.
4. VirtualBox Remote Desktop Extension (VRDE)
With this feature users can access virtual machines remotely, this extension also supports Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). In short, VirutalBox is the right application for those of you who want to create virtual machines or install multiple operating systems on one PC.
You can use the installation files found here to install on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. Especially for 32-bit hosts here we provide version 5.2 because the latest version only supports 64-bit hosts. Oracle will be discontinuing version 5.2 support starting July 2020.
