| 00:01 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Installing VirtualBox in Windows Operating System. |
| 00:08 | In this tutorial, we will learn how to download VirtualBox and install it on Windows OS. |
| 00:18 | This tutorial is recorded using: Windows OS version 10, |
| 00:24 | VirtualBox version 5.2.18, |
| 00:29 | Firefox web browser. |
| 00:32 | However, you may use any other browser of your choice. |
| 00:38 | Before we begin, please make sure that you are connected to the Internet. |
| 00:44 | What is VirtualBox?
VirtualBox is a free and open source software for Virtualization. |
| 00:52 | It allows us to install and use multiple OS in the base machine i.e. (host). |
| 01:00 | The base machine can have either Windows, Linux or MacOS. |
| 01:07 | To install an OS inside a VirtualBox, the base machine should have the following configuration. |
| 01:15 | i3 processor or higher, |
| 01:19 | RAM 4GB or higher, |
| 01:23 | Hard disk free space 50GB or more and Virtualization should be enabled on BIOS. |
| 01:34 | This will ensure that the VirtualBox will work smoothly. |
| 01:40 | In case the base machine has Windows OS, then it should be any one of the following versions: |
| 01:47 | Windows 7, |
| 01:49 | Windows 8 or Windows 10. |
| 01:53 | Let's start the installation. |
| 01:56 | To download the latest version of VirtualBox, go to the following link in a web browser.
www dot virtualbox dot org slash wiki slash Downloads |
| 02:14 | I have already opened this url in a Firefox web browser on my machine. |
| 02:21 | This page displays the link to download the latest version of VirtualBox for multiple hosts. |
| 02:30 | At the time of this recording, the latest version of VirtualBox is 5.2.18 |
| 02:39 | It could be different when you watch this tutorial in the future. |
| 02:44 | Now click on the link Windows hosts. |
| 02:48 | This will download VirtualBox for Windows OS. |
| 02:53 | The download may take some time depending on your Internet speed. |
| 02:58 | Important note: Before installing VirtualBox, we have to ensure that Virtualization is enabled on our machine. |
| 03:08 | Let us verify if Virtualization is enabled or not, in Windows 8 or 10 machine. |
| 03:16 | Go to the Taskbar at the bottom left of the window.
Right-click and select Task Manager. |
| 03:25 | The Task manager window opens. |
| 03:29 | If you are opening it for the first time, click on More details at the bottom of this window.
Then click on the tab Performance. |
| 03:40 | In the Performance tab, at the bottom right, locate Virtualization. |
| 03:46 | This will tell us whether the Virtualization is enabled or not, in our machine. |
| 03:53 | If it is not enabled, kindly enable it in BIOS settings. |
| 03:59 | As the BIOS settings vary from computer to computer, we cannot show a demo of the same. |
| 04:06 | If you are not a technical person, kindly do this with the help of a System Administrator. |
| 04:13 | If the option Virtualization is not available in the BIOS , then we cannot install VirtualBox in that machine. |
| 04:22 | In my case, it is already enabled. |
| 04:26 | Now, close the Taskbar by clicking on the x icon at the top right corner. |
| 04:33 | Let us now install VirtualBox. |
| 04:37 | Go to the folder where we downloaded VirtualBox.exe file. |
| 04:43 | Now right-click on the file and select Run as Administrator. |
| 04:49 | In the User Account Control dialog box that appears, click on Yes. |
| 04:56 | Oracle VM VirtualBox 5.2.18 Setup window with a welcome message appears. |
| 05:06 | Click on the Next button at the bottom of the window to proceed further. |
| 05:12 | The next screen is Custom Setup. |
| 05:16 | If we wish to change the location of the installation, we can do so. |
| 05:22 | Click on the Browse button and then choose the desired location for installation. |
| 05:29 | I will skip this, as I prefer to install it in the default location. |
| 05:35 | Click on the Next button at the bottom of the window to proceed. |
| 05:40 | In the next Custom Setup screen, we can select some features depending on our requirement.
By default, all the options will be selected. |
| 05:52 | Click on the Next button at the bottom of the window. |
| 05:56 | The next window shows some warning message regarding Network. |
| 06:01 | This message says that during the installation the Internet will disconnect temporarily. |
| 06:09 | Click on Yes button at the bottom of the window. |
| 06:13 | We are now redirected to the Ready to Install screen. |
| 06:18 | Click on the Install button to begin the installation. |
| 06:22 | This installation may take some time. |
| 06:25 | You may get a pop-up window named Windows Security. |
| 06:30 | It asks whether we want to install the software.
Click on Install button. |
| 06:39 | Once done, we can see the message “Oracle VM VirtualBox installation is complete”. |
| 06:47 | In this screen, there’s an option “Start Oracle VM VirtualBox after installation”.
By default, it will be selected. |
| 06:58 | I don’t want to launch VM immediately, so I will unselect it. |
| 07:03 | Lastly, click on the Finish button. |
| 07:08 | Now, on the Desktop, we can see the shortcut icon for the VirtualBox. |
| 07:16 | Double-click on the VirtualBox icon to launch the application. |
| 07:21 | VirtualBox application opens. This indicates that the installation is successful. |
| 07:28 | With this, we come to the end of this tutorial.
