Hi Folks,

I wanted to update my current version of Virtual Box on Mac OSX.

My question is, once I update, will I be required to reinstall my Windows OS and all other programs that I have installed in the current virtual box OS.

Thanks

RG

Its like Office.

Updating Word does not delete doc files.

Ha Ha, I knew it was a dumb question, but I had to ask.

No need to worry: I've updated to 3.2.10 and the process went smoothly. I just restarted VirtualBox and it retained all previous VMs.

Even if you were to use the Uninstall tool to remove VirtualBox it only removes the VB application not the VMs or the contents of the VMs. Think of your VMs as documents that are opened by the VirtualBox application.
