Setting up VirtualBox on new M4 Macs?

[NorbyD]

Hi All,

I was trying to setup VirtualBox on my new M4 Mac.

I was able to download VB 7.14. However, there is no link
to the Windows OS?

I did set it up on my old Mac but don't quite remember if there was a link to Windows,
if it was incorporated into VB, or I had to go to the Microsoft site to download.

Please advise.

Thanks

Unfortunately, VirtualBox on Apple Silicon does not yet support Windows. I am not sure when this support will be added. On the other hand, Linux does run very well under VirtualBox on Apple Silicon.

VirtualBox does NOT include Windows. If/when it does support the OS you will have to download it separately from Microsoft.

Thanks Granada!

So I could probably use Linux for the time being. Just need to figure out what code I need to run it.

Happy Holidays.

Ask 10 geeks and you'll get 10 different recommendations. Just make sure you get an ARM64 distribution.

I had success with Debian: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/cu ... 64/iso-cd/

Got it! I'll figure it out.

I'm using it with Windows 10 and it's working properly.
