Hi,
I am currently running the most recent VirtualBox on an openSuSE 13.2 installation as host, and I have a Windows 10 guest.
I plan to upgrade my Linux host to Leap 42.2. This will be a clean installation, only the /home folders will be kept. Just to avoid any issues because I need to keep the Windows guest working: do I need to consider something or take care of something for the Virtual boxes to work under the new host? Or can I just go on?
Thanks for you help!

Re: New host installation
I can't tell you about the compatibility with Leap 42 [1], but the main configuration files are stored in '/home/username/' so you wouldn't have any problems with VirtualBox. For specific locations, please see: User Manual, Ch10.1. Where VirtualBox stores its files. Of course a backup never hurt anyone...
[1] There are two results on in this site regarding Leap 42, both of them have issues with KDE:
