Answers: How do I set up a virtual machine on my laptop using VirtualBox?

• Virtual machines
• Hypervisors (Type 1 and Type 2)
• VirtualBox setup and configuration
• BIOS virtualization settings (Intel VMX / AMD-V)
• Kali Linux installation in a virtual machine
• Ubuntu installation in a virtual machine
• Virtual machine management (snapshots, cloning, pausing)

What it concludes

• Using a virtual machine is the safest and most secure way to learn hacking and practice on platforms like TryHackMe and Hack The Box.
• A virtual machine runs completely isolated from your host operating system, ensuring that actions taken inside the virtual machine do not affect your main computer.
• Dynamically allocated hard disk storage is recommended when creating a virtual machine because it only uses up storage as it fills up rather than taking the full size immediately.
• Enabling Intel VMX or AMD-V virtualization technology in your computer's BIOS is required to run 64-bit operating systems in virtual machines.
• Taking virtual machine snapshots allows you to easily save and restore the state of your virtual machine if anything breaks.
