I saw a video in which a former MS employee got one of those scam calls from India saying his Windows PC was infected. He recorded the call and let them get on his computer, but he had set up a virtual machine, so they couldn’t do any damage. The scammer even got his supervisor on the call, and both of them got pretty frustrated that they couldn’t open the things they were trying to open. It was pretty humorous.

A vm has the same security risk as any other pc. Treat it as such, maybe look into vm escape lol.

Great video, well categorized, kept short enough to not get confusing but long enough to hold all the information you need to get started and potential issues categorized. One just has to watch the steps and execute them as you go. Thank you!

Thanks for the tutorial! Really helpful and it was clear what to do. For anyone who reads this: If you start the VM and there is an error saying that a critical error has occured, try restarting your PC. This happened to me and restarting the PC worked.

By far the most easiest and user friendly way and step by step on how to do this. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!!!!!

Easy to follow and just what I needed. Got VBox installed and the installed Kali Linux. Thank you!

Interacting with this to hopefully bump it up in the search results! This is a very clean and easy to understand tutorial, so thank you for making the video! Here’s hoping I can use your advice to get my own virtual machine running.

@Kevin, you're a mind reader! It's just yesterday that I was looking for a tutorial video by you, on how to install a VM on my PC, but couldn't find any! And then today, I got the notification of this new video by you! Thanks a lot for a well explained walk-through!

THANK YOU!!! I have delayed my process on the odin project this summer/fall because I couldnt figure out how to run this VM effectively! This helped so much!!

Easy to follow and straight to the point! Thank you Kevin.

This was really helpful. Provided just the minimum amount of information for me to execute my project.

My man... that was a nice and comprehensible walkthrough.

Clear and straight to the point. Love it. New subscriber.

Thank you, I watched several other videos but it still took me 2 hours until I watch yours.

Probably the best video on Virtual Box I seen for newbies

Excellent video - could not ask for more, at this point in my learning. Keep it up

Best tutorials on youtube, thanks Kevin!

Installed it for fun and it was enjoyable to get it running and working on the first go. A little confused about writing in a username, password then when starting it up it asked me to do the same again. I loved the startup window asking about softwares to install. As I like to work on hobbies I was surprised it had Krita and OBS in it's list. I don't get how they made installing and setting up an operating system look like counting to 3 compared to simply installing and playing a game.

You are awesome man! I am new at this and not even my favourite Tech creators have shown me how to get started in linux from the absolute bottom

Kevin ive done this before but im here for a refresh. Thank you bro.

Great tutorial brother, straight to the point and very detailed leaving no info out✅

My favourite software virtualisation tool! VirtualBox is great for running Linux, any version of Windows, BSD, Haiku OS, React OS, etc. You can run so many older OS's with this too! I love this program because it works on Linux, meaning I can use Windows specific software in a VM on Linux without having to reboot into Windows, or install Windows. As of right now, I use VirtualBox version 6.1, which I find easier than the newer 7.0, although I guess I'll have to update eventually. I don't believe version 7 is available yet for most Linux distro's. Keep up the fantastic work with your videos, we really appreciate it. :)

Hey. Does your Linux VM run smoothly? When I installed mine, KZread is glitchy as hell. The video keeps freezing, and the sound keeps breaking up. I checked all the videos about the correct settings. My host machine specs are good for a vm (Win 11, i7 12gen 1260P, DDR4 16 RAM, SSD 512)

Thank you for the incredibley comprehensive, yet easy to follow, guide! I can now get started.

I really appreciate your step by step procedure. Tks.

Thanks! Totally lucid, and you anticipated all of my questions.

Virtual Machine/Box is truly awesome to have. I can't wait to start having fun with it.

Great job with the video. Just what I was looking for. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much! I’ve always wondered.

Fantastic tutorial Kevin, you truly are your brother's keeper.

Thank you so much, Kevin. You explain everything way better than my teacher🤝👍

Really great job with this tutorial, Kevin. Would love to see a more in-depth video where you add/move a vdi image. Also maybe a bit more info on snapshots and how they work and such. Maybe show a mix of various Linux distros (Ubuntu, Kali, etc.) with Windows. Or maybe toss in VMware for comparison. Also demo sharing files between host/guest.

Love the background 55 seconds in. Good video too

Soooo easy! This is better instruction than my IST prof! You are the best! Thank you

Thank you so much for your insights, your amazing teaching abilities. Great job.

Thanks. Next video talk more about virtual network settings on VMs. Thank you so much.🙏

Very nice. Now I can test out Operating Systems before I get them!

Just start Cloud Computing course and part of my assignments is to create VM and I found this video very short and easy to follow 🙂 😀

this video helped me set up my first VM thanks so much. it was very helpful!

just what i wanted to see. Thank you!

Thank you for explaining what this is!

what a nice & neat tutorial! Thank you so much! Kevin

Duuuudeeeee, thanks so much for making me understand it. At first i had some problems like the VM not working and me being dumb and not adding the CD thingy, after a while i did it. Thanks kevin

welldone buddy , i learned every thing i need from your vedio ! thanks for your time , good luck ;)

Thank you for this video It’s very informative and useful ❤

Awesome video, great VM tutorial!

Excellent, thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for this amazing video! It was so very helpful to me...

thank you for the clear instructions

Saved my life bro! great video.

I very appreciate this video. It's a comprehensive guide, with clear voice and subtitle

Thank you Kevin, I just learned about your channel and I'm loving it.

Thank you! Clean tutorial.

Did you have any issues capturing video of the VM when in full screen mode? This looks like it could be a good option for making my own recordings, so long as the screen capture works well.

This is great. Thanks so much. This was a great help for my Linux class.

This really helped me. Thanks! ❤

Thanks! I have managed to get Ubuntu running on a Windows computer, but got stuck in my attempt to install an Android virtual machine. Maybe you could go through that process in another video?

Awesome Video. Thank you!

Great video Kevin. Thank you ever so much

Nice one bro, thank you.

hello, thanks for your video, helped me a lot

Thank you. informative video..keep going

This works very well much better than windows mpst likely due to linux being open source and the video was easy to follow.

thank you so much man.

Wow, thank you!

Kevin, you didn’t talk about installing the guest tools or the extension pack for virtual box. Other than that, this is a beautifully explained tutorial.

@rufmeister

2 ай бұрын

Be very careful with the extension pack. It is not free, it is covered by an Oracle license, and is only free/allowed for personal use. That doesn't sound too bad, but Oracle is known to keep track of VB/EP downloads, hoping to find one that they can somehow track back to a company, and then hunt down that company for an audit. Should not technically be problem for a home user just playing around, but it means that any skills learned about VB would not be useful on the job market, and if you bring a laptop to some kind of company (employer or just visiting for other reasons) and it contains VB, you are a potential financial liability, putting Oracle's crosshairs on them.

Thanks for the great explanation, it works perfect for Debian OS as well.

wow very great tutorial! sadly, much better than my teacher who just expects us to know everything without teaching 💀. There goes my tuition.

Thank you finally a bid that not 3 years old

beautiful tutorial

Thanks so much. Before you I watched few more videos about installing VirtualBox and Ubuntu. But your tutorial like always is the best 😁 Just one question...when you said remove virtual machine you mean remove Ubuntu OS not a VirtualBox?

When you delete a VM from VirtualBox, does it release the allocated RAM & Cores that were allocated to it during provisioning?

i geting so many issues on virtual box vm - your are great sir

after i downloaded and activated the virtualization and then started it, it had an automatic repair🙂💪

nice video. thanks!

not me thinking the ISO image was the icon image used for the display and skipping it XD Mr Google quickly told me the difference, so now I know what an ISO image is, but thanks for the help in making a VM.

@Keven Stratvert thank you very much for this tutorial! Just one question though. Do you actually need a physical disk to actually install operating systems in virtualbox or no? I have an Alienware desktop which doesn't have a cd rom tray. Thank you.

No, all you need is an iso file, which you can download. Microsoft and Linux distributions all offer iso downloads for their respective operating systems.

can it also be dynamic with the ram and cpu?

Hi Kevin! I love the tutorial, and I'm a huge fan of yours. Quick question- When setting up a VM, there is a box to check labeled, "Skip Unattended Installation" and I was wondering what it does and if I should check it. Thank you!
