Though, at this point there isn’t much you can do because you don’t have any virtual machines. This is the screen that you will use to organize, start, delete, create, and change your virtual machines. Once setup is complete, you can run VirtualBox and then the VirtualBox manager will appear. Every few minutes a Windows Security dialog will appear, and you’ll need to Click Install to allow Virtualbox to setup virtual peripherals. Setup will take 5-10 minutes depending on your system’s configuration, and if you are running Windows you’ll need to sit through it. You’ll see a plethora of options on the Custom Setup page, but if you aren’t sure what you are doing just leave them as they are. In this walkthrough I’m using Windows 7 –so the process might vary depending on what OS you are using. VirtualBox is available for OS X, Linux, and Solaris. To get started, download the Virtual Box installer. You can download these from many sources, but we’ve only linked to the official ones. In my example, I’ll be using a Windows 7 setup disk. A bootable drive for installing the operating system your virtual machine (VM) will run.Another plus, is that VirtualBox will run just about any operating system (OS) you can think for the full list read this. VirtualBox doesn’t require you to register an account to download, and runs smoothly with no compatibility issues ( yet). Although, VMware Player also gives Microsoft run for their money. For me, VirtualBox is a better alternative to Virtual PC.
