For example, on Windows 10, the VirtualBox installer puts an icon on the desktop by default. Once installed, the VirtualBox application runs similar to any other application on admins' host OS. To install Oracle VM VirtualBox on Windows, admins must download either the 32- or 64-bit installer.

For example, VirtualBox directly exports images to a VM either locally or in the OCI with the open virtualization format.

VirtualBox is ideal for admins looking to consolidate their infrastructure or improve software installations, as well as those who require testing and disaster recovery.

And it supports guest multiprocessing, USB device support, ACPI support, multiscreen resolutions, built-in iSCSI support and Preboot Execution Environment network boot. VirtualBox also provides Guest Additions, which are software packages that admins can install inside supported guest systems to improve performance. In addition, VirtualBox offers multigeneration branched snapshots, which enable admins to revert a VM to a previous state or create an alternative configuration of a VM with a snapshot.

For example, admins can run Windows and Linux on a macOS Server or run Windows Server 2016 on a Linux server alongside existing applications. VirtualBox enables admins to run multiple OSes inside several VMs simultaneously.
