VirtualBox: Free, open-source virtualization magic. Run any OS on your PC—test, code, explore!

  1. Grab the Installer
  2. Kick Things Off
    Double-click the installer. Windows might pop a “Do you trust this?” prompt—say “Yes.” You’re in good hands.
  3. Wizard Time
    • Hit “Next” to start.
    • Pick components (default’s fine) and where it’ll live on your drive.
    • Heads-up: It’ll warn you about a quick network blip. That’s just VirtualBox setting up virtual adapters—no biggie.
  4. Install It
    Click “Install” and watch it go. Approve any driver prompts (they’re safe). Takes a minute or two—grab a coffee.
  5. Wrap It Up
    Click “Finish.” Check the box to launch VirtualBox right away and feel that tech buzz.
  6. Bonus: Extension Pack
    Want USB or remote desktop? Back at the downloads page, snag the Extension Pack. In VirtualBox, hit File > Preferences > Extensions, click “Add,” and pick the file. Done!
