VirtualBox is a reliable virtualization solution that is recommended for running virtual machines (VMs) on servers, desktops and laptops. As time marches forward, new versions of VirtualBox are released periodically. The advantages to using the latest VirtualBox version are that it includes improvements, bug fixes and allows you to work with a higher security level as well as receiving a higher degree of performance. New features are usually added with major version releases (for example, v.6.0.0 comparing to version 5.x.x). What should you do when you want to update your VirtualBox to the latest version, but your older version is configured and fine-tuned? The good news is that your configuration is preserved when you update VirtualBox. Today’s blog post explores how to update VirtualBox on Windows and Mac OS X while preserving the existing configuration of VirtualBox and virtual machines.
