Description Changelog Specifications

VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for hardware. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional quality virtualization solution. It is also Open Source Software.  The powerful virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use.

VirtualBox provides are useful for several scenarios: Running multiple operating systems simultaneously. VirtualBox allows you to run more than one operating system at a time.

This way, you can run software written for one operating system on another (for example, Windows software on Linux or a Mac) without having to reboot to use it.

Since you can configure what kinds of “virtual” hardware should be presented to each such operating system, you can install an old operating system such as DOS or OS/2 even if your real computer’s hardware is no longer supported by that operating system.

Software vendors can use virtual machines to ship entire software configurations. For example, installing a complete mail server solution on a real machine can be a tedious task.

With VirtualBox, such a complex setup (then often called an “appliance”) can be packed into a virtual machine. Installing and running a mail server becomes as easy as importing such an appliance into VirtualBox.

In order to run VirtualBox on your machine, you need:

  • Reasonably powerful x86 hardware. Any recent Intel or AMD processor should do.
  • Memory. Depending on what guest operating systems you want to run, you will need at least 512 MB of RAM (but probably more, and the more the better). Basically, you will need whatever your host operating system needs to run comfortably. Plus the amount that the guest operating system needs. So, if you want to run Windows 8.1 on Windows 7, you probably won’t enjoy the experience much with less than 2 GB of RAM. Check the minimum RAM requirements of the guest operating system, they often will refuse to install if it is given less. Sometimes it malfunctions instead. So you’ll need that for the guest alone, plus the memory your operating system normally needs.
  • Hard disk space. While VirtualBox itself is very lean (a typical installation will only need about 30 MB of hard disk space), the virtual machines will require fairly huge files on disk to represent their own hard disk storage. So, to install Windows 8, for example, you will need a file that will easily grow to several 10 GB in size.
  • A supported host operating system. Presently, we support Windows, many Linux distributions, Mac OS X, Solaris and OpenSolaris. Check the user manual of the VirtualBox version you are using which versions are supported.
  • A supported guest operating system. Besides the user manual (see below), up-to-date information is available at “Status: Guest OSes“.

Changes in VirtualBox 7.0.10 (2023-07-18):

  • OCI: Introduced general improvements
  • VMM: Fixed sluggish performance starting with macOS Ventura 13.3
  • VMM: Fixed a bug while walking page tables while executing nested VMs causing flooding of the release log as a consequence (Intel hosts only)
  • GUI: Added general improvements
  • TPM: Fixed a crash when a VM has a TPM version 1.2 configured
  • 3D: Initial support for OpenGL 4.1
  • 3D: Fixed various graphics issues with Windows 11 guests
  • Guest Control/VBoxManage: Fixed parameter “–ignore-orphaned-processes”
  • Guest Control/VBoxManage: Fixed behavior of how handling argument 0 for a started guest process works: One can now explicitly specify it with the newly added option “–arg0”. This will effectively restore the behavior of former VirtualBox versions
  • Audio: Also use the PulseAudio backend when pipewire-pulse is running instead of falling back to ALSA
  • NAT: Adjusted UDP proxy timeout from 18-21 to 21-24 range to respect intended 20 second timeout
  • Linux Host: Added initial support for Indirect Branch Tracking
  • Linux Host: Added initial support for kernel 6.5 (NOTE: Guest Additions do not support kernel 6.5 yet)
  • Solaris Host: Introduced general improvements in the installer area
  • Linux Host and Guest: Improved condition check when kernel modules need to be signed
  • Linux Host and Guest: Added initial support for RHEL 8.8, 8.9 and 9.3 kernels
  • MacOS Host and Guest: Introduced general improvements in the installer area
  • Windows Host and Guest: Introduced ECDSA support
  • Linux Guest Additions: Fixed issue when kernel modules were rebuilt on each boot when guest system has no X11 installed
  • Linux Guest Additions: Added initial support for kernel 6.4
  • Linux Guest Additions: Fixed issue when vboxvideo module reloading caused kernel panic in some guests
  • Linux Guest Additions: Introduced general improvements in the installer area
  • Windows Guest Additions: Introduced general improvements in graphics drivers area
