My name is Mike Rainer and I'm with eRinch.com. This video is about how to install Oracle VirtualBox into Windows 7. Oracle VirtualBox allows you to create virtual computers or virtual machines so that you can run multiple operating systems from your own computer. The outcomes for this video are you should be able to download Oracle VirtualBox, install VirtualBox into Windows 7 and configure a default location of virtual machines. In my case, I configured it to a public VM directory but you can leave it wherever you want. Requirements, Windows 7 operating system, VirtualBox course, and enough memory or RAM to run both your host operating system, which would be Windows 7, and your virtual operating system, which is whatever one you want at the same time. And additional info is that VirtualBox. Okay, we just start off at www.virtualbox.org. And this is the VirtualBox site where you can download your copy of VirtualBox. If you notice that you've got about screenshots, downloads, documentation, which really has a lot of good information on it. So we're going to download VirtualBox, click on Downloads section, and here we're going to choose the one for our machine. In our case, it'll be VirtualBox 4.1.14 for Windows host, including both the X86 and the 64 mid-operating systems of Windows. So click for this one, and we're just going to save the file. And I like to put it on local disk downloads, and I'll make a separate directory for it, New Folder called VirtualBox. Open it up, and simply download the file. Now here's a very short download 10-6 minutes remaining. While you're waiting for the download to occur, you can go take a look to User Manual or go around the site. I will return after the download, and we'll go ahead with setting up VirtualBox in Windows 7. We have about 5 seconds, a few seconds remaining for the install. VirtualBox has been downloaded. It's a simple matter now to simply close these folders, and the next step will be setting this up on a Windows 7 computer. Once VirtualBox has been downloaded into our Windows 7 machine, next step would be to simply click on the EXE file and install it. So we right click on the Start button, open Windows Explorer, go to where we download the VirtualBox. In this case, it's C downloads, click VirtualBox, and then click it, and up comes our security warning. And we're going to run it. This security warning will come up a number of times as we're running it, so it's a very simple install. Click Next. That's what items you want to install. In our case, we're just going to pick everything that we can. Install, ask where you want to install it, and we'll just take the default location, click Next. And I like to create a short top on desktop, but not on a quick launch bar. So that's your choice. You can do however you want to do that. Click Next. And gives you warning that Network interfaces can be going up and down during the installation. So if you're using the Internet, that means that you may become disconnected. And click Yes. And then it says Click Install, Begin install, click Install. And it trundles along and lets you go along and install. It says it may take several minutes. And if it takes a long time, we are going to just keep going back. So now up again, our user account control. We're going to click Yes. And like I say, this will show up a number of times during the install. So don't be too worried about that. That's Windows doing its security thing for you. And Windows security, again, this device software. And I don't like to click Always Trust, so I'd like to have my warning. So I'm going to click Install. And again, your Windows security warning comes in. Again, I'm going to click Install. And this is the third, fourth, or fifth time. Click Install again. And again, click Install. And Oracle VM installation is complete. Click Finish. And we're going to close this window right here. And so VirtualBox, the latest edition today is installed. One preference I like to change is where the virtual machines installed. Virtual machines are usually installed in your directory. And if you want everyone to be able to use virtual machines, I change the preferences to a different folder. I change it computer, C drive, users, public. And I make a new folder and a public folder. And call it public VMs for public virtual machines. And then click OK. And you may take a look at some of these other settings and change these. If you want to keep your virtual machines private and not letting anyone else access them, do not make this change to the public folder. This is simply because I work in environment where a lot of different people may be seeing virtual machines. Click OK. And that's it. Thank you.
