This is essential if you have specialized hardware that supports an older OS (e.g., Windows XP). It is more compatible with some special virtualization applications. As it misses the essential security and performance features, it can make the system less secure or unstable, so, use it only...
Allocating more cores to your virtual machine is one of the easiest ways to improve its performance. As I mentioned earlier, granting half your physical cores to a VM is enough to make your VM more responsive without exposing the host system to stability issues. You can also enable GPU pass...
This tutorial gives you a basic overview of what SVM mode is, how it relates to virtualization, and whether or not you should enable it. We’ve also covered how you can enable this mode on different hardware.
On paper, it sounds like a weird feature with non-existent real-world applications. However, there are plenty of reasons to go out of your way to enable nested virtualization, regardless of whether you’re into self-hosting a few essential services or a home lab enthusiast running a behemoth...
How can I enhance the performance of virtual machines in VirtualBox? To improve performance, you can allocate more memory and control processing unit (CPU) cores to your virtual machines, enable hardware virtualization in your computer's BIOS settings, and install VirtualBox Guest Additions, which...
