I saw a video in which a former MS employee got one of those scam calls from India saying his Windows PC was infected. He recorded the call and let them get on his computer, but he had set up a virtual machine, so they couldn’t do any damage. The scammer even got his supervisor on the call, and both of them got pretty frustrated that they couldn’t open the things they were trying to open. It was pretty humorous.
Thanks for the tutorial! Really helpful and it was clear what to do. For anyone who reads this: If you start the VM and there is an error saying that a critical error has occured, try restarting your PC. This happened to me and restarting the PC worked.
Great video, well categorized, kept short enough to not get confusing but long enough to hold all the information you need to get started and potential issues categorized. One just has to watch the steps and execute them as you go. Thank you!
Interacting with this to hopefully bump it up in the search results! This is a very clean and easy to understand tutorial, so thank you for making the video! Here’s hoping I can use your advice to get my own virtual machine running.
@Kevin, you're a mind reader! It's just yesterday that I was looking for a tutorial video by you, on how to install a VM on my PC, but couldn't find any! And then today, I got the notification of this new video by you! Thanks a lot for a well explained walk-through!

THANK YOU!!! I have delayed my process on the odin project this summer/fall because I couldnt figure out how to run this VM effectively! This helped so much!!
My favourite software virtualisation tool! VirtualBox is great for running Linux, any version of Windows, BSD, Haiku OS, React OS, etc. You can run so many older OS's with this too! I love this program because it works on Linux, meaning I can use Windows specific software in a VM on Linux without having to reboot into Windows, or install Windows. As of right now, I use VirtualBox version 6.1, which I find easier than the newer 7.0, although I guess I'll have to update eventually. I don't believe version 7 is available yet for most Linux distro's. Keep up the fantastic work with your videos, we really appreciate it. :)
Hey. Does your Linux VM run smoothly? When I installed mine, UA-cam is glitchy as hell. The video keeps freezing, and the sound keeps breaking up. I checked all the videos about the correct settings. My host machine specs are good for a vm (Win 11, i7 12gen 1260P, DDR4 16 RAM, SSD 512)
@@andreynguyen2503 Linux VM's generally are good when it comes to running smoothly in virtual machines. Not exactly sure why you are experiencing issues with UA-cam.
if i download stuff in it, do i get them back after shuttingdown or start a new? what if i want to install some cracked stuff? games, if they were infected do they affect my host?
Installed it for fun and it was enjoyable to get it running and working on the first go. A little confused about writing in a username, password then when starting it up it asked me to do the same again. I loved the startup window asking about softwares to install. As I like to work on hobbies I was surprised it had Krita and OBS in it's list. I don't get how they made installing and setting up an operating system look like counting to 3 compared to simply installing and playing a game.
Thanks! I have managed to get Ubuntu running on a Windows computer, but got stuck in my attempt to install an Android virtual machine. Maybe you could go through that process in another video?
Great Video... First class.... Got me up and running in VirtualBox..... but :) there is always a but... I need more help with the file shearing, or is that folder shearing?? Would love to see a video that covers ALL the in's and out's of this..... I m trying to get old files into programs running in windows XP in VirtualBox... I am having a lot of trouble in getting to the files and understanding how it all works...
Kevin, you didn’t talk about installing the guest tools or the extension pack for virtual box. Other than that, this is a beautifully explained tutorial.
Be very careful with the extension pack. It is not free, it is covered by an Oracle license, and is only free/allowed for personal use. That doesn't sound too bad, but Oracle is known to keep track of VB/EP downloads, hoping to find one that they can somehow track back to a company, and then hunt down that company for an audit. Should not technically be problem for a home user just playing around, but it means that any skills learned about VB would not be useful on the job market, and if you bring a laptop to some kind of company (employer or just visiting for other reasons) and it contains VB, you are a potential financial liability, putting Oracle's crosshairs on them.
Hi Kevin! I love the tutorial, and I'm a huge fan of yours. Quick question- When setting up a VM, there is a box to check labeled, "Skip Unattended Installation" and I was wondering what it does and if I should check it. Thank you!
Duuuudeeeee, thanks so much for making me understand it. At first i had some problems like the VM not working and me being dumb and not adding the CD thingy, after a while i did it. Thanks kevin
not me thinking the ISO image was the icon image used for the display and skipping it XD Mr Google quickly told me the difference, so now I know what an ISO image is, but thanks for the help in making a VM.
Did you have any issues capturing video of the VM when in full screen mode? This looks like it could be a good option for making my own recordings, so long as the screen capture works well.
Really great job with this tutorial, Kevin. Would love to see a more in-depth video where you add/move a vdi image. Also maybe a bit more info on snapshots and how they work and such. Maybe show a mix of various Linux distros (Ubuntu, Kali, etc.) with Windows. Or maybe toss in VMware for comparison. Also demo sharing files between host/guest.
Great video until you had me install Ubuntu instead of Kali Linux... FML that cost me a whole day to figure out what was my problem was and why couldn't get the repositories I needed for the task I was attempting to if you're looking for Kali Linux stop when he start Sony to install imbunto
First of all, great video thank you for explaining it so well. I have a question, do you know why i cannot use the auto resize function? when I click it nothing happenes and when I click it again it adjusts the whole window size to the size of the virtual desktop with the background so it stays small and just makes the window of the virtual box smaller.
What is really needed is a step-by-step tutorial on how to share files with Windows and Mint. Without being able to share files, the whole thing is pointless.
@Keven Stratvert thank you very much for this tutorial! Just one question though. Do you actually need a physical disk to actually install operating systems in virtualbox or no? I have an Alienware desktop which doesn't have a cd rom tray. Thank you.
No, all you need is an iso file, which you can download. Microsoft and Linux distributions all offer iso downloads for their respective operating systems.
Thanks so much. Before you I watched few more videos about installing VirtualBox and Ubuntu. But your tutorial like always is the best 😁 Just one question...when you said remove virtual machine you mean remove Ubuntu OS not a VirtualBox?

So is vm really secure and safe??
@@noertri618to scammers who don't know much about computers, probably
A vm has the same security risk as any other pc. Treat it as such, maybe look into vm escape lol.
@@noertri618yeah I use it to test if a download has viruses on it
