How to install Linux or any OS on Windows Virtual Machine
how are you all I hope you are well. Today I am coming to give you detailed ideas about Virtual Machine or Virtualization and how you can run Linux or any other Operating System on WIndows or Mac through Virtualization and what to do.
I think we should all be aware of this.
So without delay let’s go to the main post.
I apologize in advance, the post is a bit long. Please take your time to read
To install Kali Linux on Windows you need to download Virtual Box first. There is no reason for tension. It’s completely free.
1. If you go to Google and search by writing Virtual Box, the first website will come up. Or I am giving the direct download link, if you want you can go here and download directly.
After downloading the software, install ten more softwares.
2. After installation you can see an environment like this
3. Now after clicking on New you will see a dialog box like this
4. In the dialog box you will give the name you want to give your operating system and make sure in which folder your driver will be placed and in this case one thing to note is that the amount of space required to install your operating system is in that folder or on the drive.
5. After setting Type Linux or Windows, now you have to do the main work. In the case of many of you, you may see that the 32-bit option is running, where the 64-bit option is not there.
In this case, you have to check one thing whether the Virtualization option is enabled on your computer or from the motherboard or from age. If Virtualization is not done, then you cannot use 64 bit virtual box, so you must enable the Virtualization option from the BIOS.
It varies from motherboard to motherboard. If you search how to turn on virtualization on your motherboard model or laptop model, you will find many resources online.
You must do virtualization from there
***To check if Virtualization is there, go to Performance tab from Task Manager and see at the bottom of the right side that if Virtualization is on then it will be written Enable and if it is not then it will be written Disable.
**** In that case, if it is enabled, then you don’t have to do virtualization again, but if it is disabled, you must turn virtualization on. Otherwise, you will not be able to take full facilities of virtual box.
6. After clicking on the next option, you will get the option that is Memory Size to determine the RAM size. In this case, you have to be careful, never allocate more than half of your RAM size to the virtual box, reduce it as much as you can, I am using 2BG ROM for the virtual box. When selecting you will see there is a red dot or indicator. Never go past the green dot to the yellow dot or red dot. In that case your device will show that the Requirements to run Virtual Box will overlap your own PC. You will not be able to run the machine properly so be careful.
7. Then click Create A Virtual Disk option in the option that will appear and press the Create option below
8. Select the Virtual Disk Image or VDI option in the Hard Disk File Type option
9. In this part, there are two options, one is Dynamically Allocated and the other is Fixed Size. If you do Fixed Size, it will occupy a certain amount of space . Do accordingly as per his own requirement he will take up the space as he wishes and never take more than required no need to stress about it.
My suggestion would be Dynamically Allocated .
10. Then the option that will come where you want to keep your virtual file will be in the folder that you have already selected but now basically you have to determine the size. If you have given Fix then you will give etlist 25GB or if you have given Dynamically Allocated then there is no problem. They will automatically increase the space
I keep it with 20 in this case
11. After clicking on create option you will see a window like this
12. Then click on the setting option above
13. From here you can get an overview of what you have been doing so far
14. Then you will go to the Processor tab by clicking on the
System option
15. From here you will determine how many CPU cores to allocate for your virtual machine. In this case too the warning is the same as for RAM. Do not go over the red spot. Don’t give more than half of your total CPU Cores.
16. Once everything is fixed, now you can press the start button and you will see a window like this
*** Here you have to select the ISO file. That is, the ISO file of the operating system you want to install must be selected first. You will download the ISO file of Windows / Linux as you need and keep it in a specific place and add it here.

17. Then after you press the start button the virtual machine will start running.
18. In this case, there are some rules in using the virtual box that if you move the mouse inside the virtual box once, then a mouse will remain in the window of that virtual box and will not come out. If you need to come out, press Right Control (Ctrl) of your keyboard ) button to come out from there otherwise your mouse will just move inside that window
*** Let’s start Kaali Linux Installation. Follow the screenshots for this
I will write down the points ***

*** Install Kali Linux right. Now you install whatever you want in it. Virus. blow up The effect of nothing will not read on your main PC. It’s all isolated
Now you may find that you can’t go to Windows from your Virtual Box. That is why I am quoting point 18 again
“In this case, there are some rules in using the virtual box that if you move the mouse inside the virtual box once, then a mouse will remain in the window of that virtual box and will not come out. If you need to come out, then right control of your keyboard ( Ctrl) button to come out of there otherwise your mouse will just move inside that window.
*** I don’t know how much I was able to explain or how much it benefited you. But I think it is very important to learn Virtualization nowadays. You can test a lot of things, even if you want to install a software or even if you want to open a file or a virus, you can apply it first on the Virtual Machine.
In the next post or video, I will try to make the Virtual Machine more secure or what else can be done with it, inshallah.
Please forgive the mistakes, and if possible, let me know the mistakes so that I can correct them later.
