There are many uses for this - e.g. creating a Windows machine on your Mac so you can test on Windows, or creating a space where you can experiment with tech things with no risk to any data you care about.<br /> <br /> On Windows, this is also another alternative to putty and WSL.<br /> <br /> = Prerequisites =<br /> <br /> Hardware<br /> * 16GB storage (you will allocate 8GB)<br /> * 4GB RAM (you will allocate 1GB)<br /> <br /> Software<br /> * The latest stable version of VirtualBox<br /> <br /> Other<br /> * a &lt;code&gt;.iso&lt;/code&gt; file for the version of the operating system you want to install, e.g. Debian<br /> <br /> Any operating system will do, including Windows.<br /> <br /> Note: these steps have been tested with Debian, so there may be additional work for some other OS's.<br /> <br /> = Creating your VM = <br /> <br /> First, check the hardware prerequisites, install VirtualBox, and download your &lt;code&gt;.iso&lt;/code&gt; file.<br /> <br /> Launch VirtualBox.<br /> <br /> Click &quot;New&quot; and follow the guide. Make sure to give 1024 MB of RAM, as some choices will default to a lower amount. Otherwise, stick with the defaults.<br /> <br /> The window for creating a new VM will then close, but you're not ready to start yet. Click your VM on the left sidebar, then click the &quot;Settings&quot; gear.<br /> <br /> In &quot;Settings&quot;, go to &quot;Storage&quot; and select the device under &quot;Controller&quot;, which probably says &quot;Empty&quot; or similar. Click the blue CD, click &quot;Choose a disk file&quot;, and find your &lt;code&gt;.iso&lt;/code&gt;. If you haven't moved it, it's probably in your &quot;Downloads&quot; folder. Click &quot;Open&quot;, then &quot;OK&quot; to finalize your choices.<br /> <br /> Now you can power up the VM and walk through the installation guide.</div> Craigje
