I switched to VMware Workstation after a bad experience with Virtualbox. I can definitely say that the performance increase is drastic, especially on bad computers like my old one, and VMware tools were easy to install. I have had few problems with VMware, but have no regrets about switching.
For years I've occasionally had the need for a virtual machine, I've always just downloaded VirtualBox cause that's just the standard everyone uses. Downloading VMWare Player right now.
VirtualBox has always been my go to. But in my experience it is ALWAYS super hard to configure correctly. I spent the whole day today trying to get the configurations right to fix some problem with a Windows 10 guest, and in the end I could never figure out why performance was just not up to par even with 8 cores and 16 GB of RAM (I had plenty to give). I tried installing Windows 10 on VMWare and instantly out of the box it was as smooth as my host machine and it only allocated 2 cores and 2 GB. Not only that but getting my webcam and microphone to work was seamless out of the box unlike VB. I have a soft spot of VirtualBox but it seems like from these comments bad experiences are more common than I thought.
I've always used VMware Player over Virtualbox, I had some bad experiences with VB YEARS ago and never decided to try it out again. Seems like I am not missing out.
i had to reinstall whjole windows cuz of virtual box. it doesnt specify thaat u have to delete any virtual machine before uninstalling it because of which i had 50gb storage blocked
2 things to say about on this video: 1. There is a way to prevent easy install when installing Windows on VMware. 2. The pre-configured option of a macOS Guest on VirtualBox can't even run macOS, probably because VirtualBox doesn't want non-Macs running macOS.
I know there's a way to prevent easy install, and I've used it many times. The purpose of using it for this video was to "simulate" an inexperienced user who may think it's convinent
@@NodmadTroy VirtualBox 6.0.24 is the last version before 6.1.0 was released, and 6.0.24 was the last version of VirtualBox to support PCI(-X)/PCI-E/AGP device passthrough. However, you need the VirtualBox extension pack to be able to do any kind of hardware passthrough, and this only works under Linux, and the last version of VirtualBox (6.0.24) and its respective extension pack to allow for this feature is at several months out of date. But, it does exist as a feature, and VMWare on Windows, regardless of version, doesn't support it whatsoever. I think VirtualBox is the only Type 2 Hypervisor to ever offer hardware passthrough, even if if only works on Linux, which has KVM/QEMU as Type 1 Hypervisor solution built directly into the Linux kernel anyway.
Just to clear things out: VMware can run macOS virtual machines. The thing is that since of Apple's policies they don't add it. Because unlike VirtualBox which is free and open-source, VMware Workstation Player is the free version of a closed-source commercial use program. There's a GitHub repo with an open-source tool that "unlucks" that feature (it's more like a patch tool). Now on this aspect VMware could be a bit hard, but the resulting Virtual Machine will run smoothly and with greater performance.
OK, with the default settings VirtualBox is slow, but I configured it to run 2 CPU cores/threads, and enabled 3D acceleration, it become super fast. So don't use the default settings.
❤ The best intro to the 2 most popular VMs, VirtualBox and VMware. Thank you! As a beginner, started with VirtualBox and found ridiculous, hogy VirtualBox unable to adjust the Screen size for Ubuntu? 😂 Switched to VMware - just love it! 🎉
Vmware is better and less laggy and virtual boxs vms are harder to set up their setting bc they litterally give problems from the vm normal people dont know how to fix
Thanks for this - now I will download VMWare. Noob question, if I install VMware, and allocate some ram and memory to it, does it mean for my main machine (the OS without the hypervisor), the RAM will be depleted? So if I have 32 GB RAM physically, I allocate 8 GB to VMware, does my main machine only see 24 GB RAM? I ask because I do video editing on my main machine and I don't want performance to suffer because of this.
Your guest machine will typically use the memory allocated to it. It doesn't remove it from your host machine but task manager for example will show all of that allocated memory as "in use". So if you have 32 GB and allocate 8 GB, your OS will still recognize 32 but show you are using 8 and you will only have 24 to work with for other applications on your host.
Pretty much VirtualBox handles your cpu better but has crappy 3d acceleration , VMWare has a bit more of a cpu performance hit but the 3d acceleration is on point and it allows of like 8gb of vram instead of the 128mb on VirtualBox. TLDR use VirtualBox if you are going to run like a small Linux server without a GUI and if u want a VM that can run games and stuff use VMWare.
It's 2022... what is the VMware program I should be using? I am currently on workstation 16.

What is the current VM program?
Can anybody help me here... I'm applying for a "work from home" job that requires the use of a Windows Laptop with Windows 10 or above... at home I only have Apple computers and laptops, my question is... if I use a Virtual Machine, can I be 100% ascertained that this will be absolutely compatible and have the same functionality as a Windows Laptop for any Software and functions that the job may require?? Or should I go safer and just simply buy a Windows laptop which is definitely gonna cost me more?? And also, would I then need to install anti-viruses for my Mac to run this Windows?

Great video thanks for sharing, im running a Linux guest on virtual box, even after turning video memory to 128mb and enabling 3d acceleration watching videos on UA-cam seems quite choppy. Do you think Player or workstation would give a smoother video?
I *think* workstation and player use the same engine, so I'd imagine they'd me almost the same. However, for the most features and optimal playback, I'd go with workstation

I’ve recently upgraded my HW to Dell XPS desktop with Win11, Intel i7, 32gb ram, RTX 3060T1 graphics card. Question: I’ve got legacy CAD software that runs under WinXP PRO SP1. The hardware still runs put the printer has died. New printer (Brother Laser) do not support WinXP. I absolutely need a printer for the CAD system. I’ve got GB’s of cad data I need to support. This is not a business, but decades of my personal work. So I need to get this working. I was thinking I could set up a WinXP PRO SP1 virtual machine on top of Win11. Install WinXP PRO and CAD from original disc’s (with key). and let Win11 handle the modern printer. Is this doable?

VMWare in my experience... I've tried to install Linux on VirtualBox, and I wasn't able to set the resolution to 4K (I kept getting a black screen). But on VMware, it works perfect on 4K. Try it in VMware Player which is free to use 👍🏻
A conversation I'm having here but want to express group wide to ask about what I'm looking for and what hypervisor virtualization software can provide it and it has been lacking in my earlier experiences with Virtual PC, for instance. I have a range of computers from different eras like a 98 laptop with 433mhz Celeron to the current. Will keep 98, install DOS, and Linux on the 98 laptop. Actually, DOS might be unnecessary here since W98 still has16-bit support. The Linux portion here will be the greatest challenge. All will be bare metal OS systems. Virtualization and emulation will be pointless here. As for newer systems, they will only contain bare metal contemporary era Windows with virtualization DOS and earlier Windows and current internet capable Linux distro. It's 2022. x86 virtualization and hardware should be capable and doable to support hardware including early DOS era Gameport, which has been lacking. I can go DOSBox and or Retro Arch emulation if I have to but I really want virtualization software to step it up with the hardware support to give me bare metal experiences.
You are literally having 32 gb ram, SSD etc and still complaining while me having 3 gb ram and crappy hard drive gets excited whenever it boots up the installer 😂😭

I Switched to Vmware because everytime i used virtualbox, THE VM COULDN'T DETECT MY WIFI/NETWORK ADAPTER! But vmware can detect it so i moved to vmware
I am studying for an exam and I am told to download virtual box so that I can follow along, I downloaded virtual box but I noticed that the version that I downloaded won't let me choose a 64 bit application, I have an intel i3-9100 CPU, do I need to buy a better CPU? If so which one? My motherboard only supports 8th and 9th gen Intel CPU's I currently have 32 GB of RAM on my newly built PC, thank you for your time.
Hi I'm a bit late but this is clear... You need to enable virtualization from the pc bios to be able to use 64 bit virtual machines if that's what you asked
That is why i stared using VMware as my main hypervizor i did not regret at all it had better 3d acceleration support than virtual box I really enjoy using VMware
My idea is like this Using virtual box for Older OS like windows xp and prior And using VMWare for modern OS like windows 7 because what make the OS fells laggy is the AERO that consumes more memory
Awesome explanation man, however I only have 8 gb ram and hdd, people say it's terrible and should be at least 16gb, is it gonna be too laggy even for vmware? On their page they say minimum 4gb ram.
You dont play games on virtual machine. I tried playing games on virtual box and it didn't work. It just lagged a lot and crashes. I haven't tested VMware But still, YOU DONT PLAY GAMES ON VIRTUAL MACHINES.
I use VMware and VirtualBox,And from my experience on both,Let me tell you one thing: VMware is just better in virtualization than VirtualBox,With VMware,You can set video ram to more than 1GB and in windows 10,If you install VMware tools, Transparency will be auto enabled VirtualBox is better in running wider range of operating systems,It has support for macOS whereas VMware workstation does not (But VMware fusion has macOS support), VirtualBox has a great range of supported operating systems from windows,linux,macOS to MS-DOS,IBM OS/2 and other rare operating systems
Snapshots. You cant make snapshots in VMWare Player which for me is a massive NO GO. When using VMs to test software installations you absolutely must have snapshots so you can reset to a know state prior to each test, and you definitely dont want to have to create a new VM each time.
I switched to VMware Workstation after a bad experience with Virtualbox. I can definitely say that the performance increase is drastic, especially on bad computers like my old one, and VMware tools were easy to install. I have had few problems with VMware, but have no regrets about switching.

If so which one? My motherboard only supports 8th and 9th gen Intel CPU's I currently have 32 GB of RAM on my newly built PC, thank you for your time.
I'm not sure. Maybe this is a question for a Virtualbox Forum?
Hi I'm a bit late but this is clear... You need to enable virtualization from the pc bios to be able to use 64 bit virtual machines if that's what you asked
That is why i stared using VMware as my main hypervizor i did not regret at all it had better 3d acceleration support than virtual box I really enjoy using VMware
I installed VMWare Workstation Pro today, but I'm still gonna use virtualbox sometimes.
My idea is like this
Using virtual box for Older OS like windows xp and prior
And using VMWare for modern OS like windows 7 because what make the OS fells laggy is the AERO that consumes more memory
i went with vm ware pro 17 because i don't know how to use virtualbox.
Awesome explanation man, however I only have 8 gb ram and hdd, people say it's terrible and should be at least 16gb, is it gonna be too laggy even for vmware? On their page they say minimum 4gb ram.
I would try it anyway. Just don't give too much RAM to a VM

It's working fine surprisingly, win 10 with 2gb ram. Thanks for the vid.
what is the best for games?
You dont play games on virtual machine. I tried playing games on virtual box and it didn't work. It just lagged a lot and crashes. I haven't tested VMware But still, YOU DONT PLAY GAMES ON VIRTUAL MACHINES.
@@a8games639 I have an I7 so that shouldn't be an issue but games generally crash upon startup.
I use VMware and VirtualBox,And from my experience on both,Let me tell you one thing:
VMware is just better in virtualization than VirtualBox,With VMware,You can set video ram to more than 1GB and in windows 10,If you install VMware tools, Transparency will be auto enabled
VirtualBox is better in running wider range of operating systems,It has support for macOS whereas VMware workstation does not (But VMware fusion has macOS support), VirtualBox has a great range of supported operating systems from windows,linux,macOS to MS-DOS,IBM OS/2 and other rare operating systems
you can use unlocker for mac os support
my werid question is why you dont have alot a likes and comments thats kinda werid but i love your channel
my choice is vmware because i suck at doing vm box
What about disk space
I believe VMware uses more
"Most people are on linux or windows" Many people might tell: "Huh? Who uses Linux? People mainly use Mac and Windows." But I use Linux and I love it.
The newest Version of Virtualbox has Performance issues... so imma switch to VM ware
Great Video! Thanks!
For macOS you need VMware Fusion btw.
Not necessarily, you can run MacOS in VMWare Workstation
@@bubhub10 I mean if you want run VMware on a Mac system, you need to use VMware Fusion.
Snapshots. You cant make snapshots in VMWare Player which for me is a massive NO GO.
When using VMs to test software installations you absolutely must have snapshots so you can reset to a know state prior to each test, and you definitely dont want to have to create a new VM each time.
It's just so much better, I needed vm for doing some accounts on some games. Going from 10 fps 600 ping to 50 fps 110 ping feels like ascension
This video is really about how much we can shit on virtual box lmao
For me, It's Vmware because on virtualbox stucks me to install on windows 10
I can never get full screen to work properly on virtual box. Gonna try vmware
VMware because virtual box is really compedable to do and VMware is a lot easier for ISO Files
@HappyWin7 No it isn’t. It’s my opinion
great video man
vmware tools is worst on windows 7 and vista, it can't install when the setup failed the drivers can't verify
Thank you very much for explaining
Now talk of vmware fusion that is the vmware o mac os
