![]() ![]() Moreover, you will need to define the type of storage, fixed or dynamic, the system would occupy on the PC. The following steps, which are needed from your side on the setup phase, is the amount of HDD and RAM the OS would take. You may also choose the appropriate version of the desired generation. While accessing it, you can install absolutely any operational system depending on your preferences and choice: Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Windows, Solaris or any other. The interface of the utility is absolutely intuitive and transparent. And if you desire to test the analogue program on a variety of operational systems, VirtualBox for Windows for free will appear especially useful to you.Īt first, a few words about the design of this free tool. It will save you tons of nerve cells and a mass of time, as far as removing the new OS is as easy, as just clicking the several mouse buttons. ![]() Next option would be (VirtualBox supported) Windows 7 but many of its licenses are likely still in use (upgraded), not to mention some people still actually use it.Ħ.Whether you test the software on the professional level or just like to have a look on the same app from the aspect on different operational systems, surely you know that it is much better to install the required OS version on the virtual machine than to set it up on the real-life operational environment, messing up with the settings and customizing each new OS from scratch. Especially since nearly everyone has a Windows XP (due to longevity, popularity) Vista (lack of popularity = oversupply) license, or a few lying somewhere in their attic, and software itself was still "being sold" at that time rather than offered only as a service. Then its uses would include retrogaming, and a bunch of applications that become to network dependent to be used in any versions other than newest one and one designed for dinosaurs like Windows XP, which could possibly lead to relatively high popularity and improve familiarity with the VirtualBox software, and among people preference like this maybe more beneficial than in general population. ![]() And no linux version from that period offer anything that would not be wildly available today.ĥ. Its an easy way to greatly expand VirtualBox software compatibility range, as lets be honest, most users will gravitate into certain systems and Windows XP will gather people needing to use software developed in range of decade, two even - especially that old operating systems that do not suffer from virtualization performance issues, that are often tied to parameters of obscure system components that naturally increased overtime, and can be used at minimum native speed level, up to "ludicrous speed" in some scenarios. There is a limited scope of hardware features that needed to be supported as only things that were available around its time could be used anyway.Ĥ. ![]() And only once, in case of out of support OS'ses nearly everyone stay at few specific versions, that stay will stay unchanged forever, and considering Vista similarities to Windows7 single actual version was needed to be made plus few small adjustments to it.ģ. It is not as if it was necessary to made any obligations, all what was needed was to make it work.Ģ. This is decision I do not actually can begin to fathom.ġ. However they or their bosses decided to not provide 3D drivers in the Guest Additions for Vista or earlier guests. So the devs came up with two new video cards: VboxSVGA (note the S) and VMSVGA. > Pre-6.0 3D acceleration with the old-school VboxVGA video card had a security hole large enough to drive a truck through. But the devs decided to enable that permanently, so the old 2D box is gone now. >There used to be a separate 2D video support checkbox. ![]()
