VM’s are easy to work with since the host operating system does not need to shut down in order to run a VM.
New operating systems and software can be tested without changing anything on the original computer.An example of this is running Microsoft Access on a Mac. Software available for only one operating system can be run within another OS.VM’s are helpful for a number of reasons: The VM uses a portion of the host computer’s RAM, a part of the hard disk and some of its CPU time. The purpose of this tutorial is to demonstrate how to set up a Windows 10 Virtual Machine (VM) using the Oracle VirtualBox software.Ī Virtual Machine (VM) is a fully running copy of an operating system that runs concurrently (at the same time) with the host operating system.
