Host free Virtual Machines with VirtualBox

This video is for education purposes. In this video I demonstrate the uses of an free to use software called VirtualBox.

VirtualBox is a piece of software that allows you to run other VM's which is a Virtual Machine to be ran within your computer. This means that your hard disk space, memory usage and CPU of your system is shared with the VM box that you create. VirtualBox can run many different operating systems such as Windows, Linux and Mac. In this video I will be showing you how to use VirtualBox using an open source Linux OS called Ubuntu which many of you may of heard of. VirtualBox allows you to customise the amount of memory and disk space you assign to the box plus also allows you to turn it off or shut it down when ever you want without having to reboot your main computer.
