How to Download and Install the Oracle VM VirtualBox on Windows 10

Virtualization allows you to run multiple virtual computers (Operating Systems (OS)) on one physical computer.

For example, you can run Windows on MacOS, Linux on Windows, and Windows on Linux. You can also run virtual servers, storage, and networks.

There are two ways to run Virtual Machines (VMs) on a single physical computer: Dual Boot and VirtualBox.

This guide details installing Oracle VM VirtualBox on a Windows 10 PC to successfully run your preferred Virtual Machine.

Downloading and Installing the VirtualBox

Here’s a quick walkthrough.

Step 1: Download VirtualBox

To download the Oracle VM VirtualBox on Windows, go to https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and select the ‘Windows hosts’ option.

Note: Oracle releases regular updates for their VirtualBox, so ensure you download the latest available update, 7.0.10, at the time of writing.
