Now we’re in the Virtual Disk Creation wizard. As you won’t have any created yet, click on New.ĥ. The next step requires you to select a hard drive for the virtual machine.
The amount you decide to select depends on how much RAM you have and how much the virtual OS needs.Ĥ. Assign a portion of your RAM memory to the virtual machine. Give your VirtualBox machine a name and select the OS type.ģ. Once you’ve got the ISO image file of the OS you want to test, launch VirtualBox and click on New.Ģ. You only need to be a bit patient because these image files are usually massive and can take a long time to complete downloading.ġ. There are many sources from which you can obtain them. The first step is obviously downloading the ISO file with the operating system you want to try out. This may be the best way to take your first steps in Linux, for example. A few months ago I wrote a post about the two most popular virtual machine solutions ( VMware vs VirtualBox) but today I’m going to focus on the latter, and explain how to install and run a new operating system in VirtualBox with an ISO file.
