Lab10_ Mastering VirtualBox: A Comprehensive Setup Guide for Windows 10/11 Users

A virtualization software such as VirtualBox lets you run several operating systems (such as Windows, Linux, macOS, etc.) simultaneously on a single physical machine. Virtual machines (VMs) provide a platform where you can install and run different operating systems as if they were running on separate physical computers.
