El Capitan
I looked and looked and I cannot find an OS compatibility chart for VB. Which is the latest version that will run on a Mac OS El Capitan host? It looks like it will be one of the 5.x versions.

Re: El Capitan
I'm not aware of such a detailed list, only what's in the manuals. You can search up a particular version's manual with this link:
https://download.virtualbox.org/virtual ... Manual.pdf\
and replace Z.Y.X with the version number of Virtualbox you want to investigate. For example, 6.1.32's manual is:
https://download.virtualbox.org/virtual ... Manual.pdf
See section 1.4 in the manual. By successive approximation, you can quickly pin down which, if any, versions were supported on El Capitan.
