Vbox 6.1.2r WS2019 upgrade

Post by massimo-ecs »

Hi all,

sorry, i'm new to Vbox, is there a FAQ or just suggestions to upgrade a running configuration?

VB6.1.2r 135662 under Win Server 2019 64bit ita (1809 17763.1075 production)

Is it sufficient that i turn off all guest VMs and after i run the installer of the new Vbox version?

does it keep completely all my settings?

let me know please

Yes, and yes.

It's no different to upgrading to a new version of Microsoft Office. All your docs are still there, and when it's a minor version upgrade you don't even notice the changes - which are usually important bug fixes.
