You do have to have sufficient RAM and CPU to allocate to the client OS if you run one, so always check that you do have enough resources before starting up a VM.

There are some apps that don't play nice with other apps. If you break it, no problem just delete the VM and recreate a new one. ![]() Once you have configured a VM to your liking, you can clone and multiply that image.īecause you can clone them easily you can have a playground in which to test or try new things. Here are some advantages that I see in the scenario that you are in: I have used virtualbox quite a lot and I love using it.
