VirtualBox is a lifesaverfor anyone who wants to tinker and experiment with different operating systems.
Make Tech Easier shows us how to get up and running with VirtualBox from a bootable USB drive.
Launch it, and find the disk number of your USB drive in the bottom pane.
initiate the Start Menu again and search for Command Prompt.
Right-press the Command Prompt icon that appears and choose “Run as administrator”.
Go back to the start menu and search for VirtualBox.
Right-snag the VirtualBox icon and select “Run as administrator” to launch the program with administrative rights.
choose the new virtual machine that appears, and VirtualBox will boot to the operating system on the USB.
Hold onto that .vmdk file so you don’t have to repeat the steps to create it every time.
This guide is specific to Windows, so the steps might differ slightly for Linux or Mac operating systems.
