![]() ![]() If the topic of virtualization interests you, check out some more of our posts on the subject. There are many other options available for virtualization, including the free UTM app which allows you to easily run Windows 11 on an Apple Silicon Mac for example, but there’s also paid solutions including VMWare and Parallels. Go to to find the appropriate download, listed as “Developer preview for macOS / Arm64 (M1/M2) hosts”. ![]() ![]() As usual, VirtualBox is completely free to download and to use.

While technically in beta, anyone can get access to the developer preview beta ARM build of VirtualBox through the VirtualBox website. Oracle VM VirtualBox Base Packages - 7.0.4. It does this by virtualizing hardware (that you can adjust to allocate RAM, storage capacity, etc), so the operating system itself doesn’t know that it’s not running on actual hardware.

While the ISO file is downloading we can continue with installing VirtualBox and creating the virtual machine. And use the ISO that came with Virtualbox t o install the GAs. ![]() But having the GAs be ahead of the main VB, that could go pear-shaped soon.Īs an example, when the GAs were causing shared folder issues recently, the devs didn't put out just new GAs, they put out a whole test-build of the entire Virtualbox program, GAs included.ĭon't allow installing of new GAs without installing the matching version of Virtualbox. Allowing the GAs to fall behind the main VB version isn't bad for a while. If you change the GAs to a newer version with different capabilities, the host Virtualbox software won't know what the GAs are doing and problems will develop. As the developers update capabilities they put these capabilities in both the main Virtualbox and the GAs ISO. Software that has to work with partner software has to know what the partner is doing. It is not good to go downloading GAs besides the version that comes with the Virtualbox installer. ![]()
