Not only VirtualBox but also you can use other alternatives such as QEMU, VMware Workstation Player, etc. I prefer VirtualBox because I was using it for more than 6 years. VirtualBox (formerly known as Sun VirtualBox, Sun xVM VirtualBox and Innotek VirtualBox) is an open-source cross-platform virtualization software for x86 architecture and run on Linux, Windows & Mac. It was initially built & developed by Innotek GmbH and it was acquired by Sun Microsystems in 2008, later it was acquired by Oracle in 2010 and currently being developed by Oracle Corporation. It allows the other operating systems (known as Guests) to be installed and run within an existing operating system (known as the Host).Īll of the features are available in the Free version as well for personal use and not for commercial use. The separate “VirtualBox Oracle VM VirtualBox extension pack” providing support for USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices, VirtualBox Remote Desktop Protocol (VRDP), disk encryption, NVMe and Preboot Execution Environment (PXE). Oracle defines personal use as the installation of the software on a single host computer for non-commercial purposes.
