Configure virtual machine options

Send a virtual machine from your computer to another computer

Why take this course?

Oracle VirtualBox is a type 2 Virtualizer for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris, that enables you to install one or multiple operating systems within your own operating system.

You can run Linux inside your Windows environment to use the operating system or teach yourself Linux.  There is no longer a need to do a ‘dual boot’ on your computer.

In this course you will be able to:

  • Download and install VirtualBox, Yes, it’s FREE!
  • Create virtual machines to run other operating systems
  • Learn more about what a Virtual Machine is
  • Install Guest Additions to allow amazing features inside your virtual machine
  • Share files between your host operating system and guest operating system
  • Create a seamless environment between your virtual machine and host OS to use both environments at the same time and you can barely even tell your using a virtual machine!  AMAZING!
  • And More!

BONUS SECTION: I show you how to get Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 in a prepackaged virtual machine FREE & LEGAL!

I’ll go thru all the steps you need from scratch to get you up and running.  I’ll take you from someone who might have heard about a virtual machine to someone that installs and uses virtual machines like a pro!

We will go thru the process to install the following operating systems:

  • Windows 7
  • Windows 10
  • Ubuntu Desktop

Once you install one operating system there isn't much of a difference between the other operating installations, which is why this course will not install 15 different operating systems and only a few and really focus on the features of Virtualbox and how to use your virtual machine.

Virtual Machines allow you to:

  • Learn a new operating system
  • Test software and changes in a ‘safe’ environment that can be ‘reset’
  • Install software and features and export the Virtual Machine to send to another machine
  • Run old applications on an older operating system while still using your latest version of your operating system
  • Access Virus-Infected Data
  • Browse the web in a completely safe environment, protecting your Host Operating system
  • Run Linux on top of Windows (or Windows on top of Linux)
  • Back Up an entire operating system
  • Create a personal cloud computer
  • Run headless for web development
  • Make a backup of your server for emergencies
  • And more!

Don’t mess with your main operating system where you can break it! Use a virtual machine and go to town, use a snapshot to go back to a point where it was working again. 

 

I know you are ready to jump in and get started and I can’t wait to help you along the way!

It was a pretty good course. I did find the tutorial slightly out of date. It looks like https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/ forces you to only download Windows 10 now.

The course is pretty nice, I liked and I could connect all doubts I had before about this topic. At some point I needed to check on the browser and Help->Contents how to solve some doubts, but in general everything was really good. Well recommended.

This was a great course and even though I have used VirtualBox before, I believe I learned a lot. I have had problems with using VirtualBox before but didn't know about the Guest Editions and that helps a lot.

Straight and to the point. The course is set up in a logical way, so you build off of each skill. I was able to find the skills that I needed quickly, as I didn't need the whole course. I wanted to easily export a vm from my home machine, and place it on my work computer, so on my 9 hour trip to Europe, I can continue some testing I am doing, and learning. Instructor: Clear, and explains well. I like that the course is hands on. Powerpoint courses are booring, and I am a learn by doing person, so this helped. I even learned things, I didn't know I needed to learn! Great course, overall.

Great explanations and hints. I already used OVB before and it was good to know I've been doing stuff right and I now have more knowledge on how to run OVB even better! Thanks!!

I would like to see this setup installation on a Mac Host, and installing Windows Server 2012 R2 as the Guest Machine...

The tip on how to get a free and legal Windows installation was easily worth the price of the course.

It was good to get a intro to virtual machines. I like the course for what it show you about how to setup and get started with the software. After that just take it a go do your own thing because you cant brake a VM at all because you just have to restore it at your snap shot. :-)
