VirtualBox is a virtualization tool that is compatible with multiple operating systems including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. It allows users to create virtual disc units within their existing operating system, enabling the installation of a guest operating system. This tool functions as if the guest operating system was actually installed on the computer. The virtual unit on which the system runs is highly customizable, providing options to adjust virtual hardware components such as the processor, RAM memory, and storage space. However, it is important to note that these adjustments utilize resources from the computer's real hardware equipment. As a result, a powerful computer is necessary to ensure smooth operation and interaction between the host and guest operating systems. VirtualBox supports a wide range of operating systems, including Windows 10, Mac OS Yosemite, and various Linux distributions. One of the key advantages of virtualization is the ability to utilize platform-exclusive programs. Additionally, virtual units can be easily transported and backed up. Notably, VirtualBox offers a useful feature that allows users to create instances within the guest operating system, allowing for seamless continuation of activities from the last session.
