In order to install Oracle VirtualBox on the machine, there are a few requirements that have to be fulfilled, including:
CPU that supports virtualization (Intel or AMD). In order to have a stable and reliable virtualization environment, we are recommending to have a processor that has more than 4 cores. Our plan through the following articles is to deploy one virtual machine, so we do not need more resources.Minimum 8 GB of physical memory, 16 GB is recommended. These requirements are required for hosts and one guest machine.Minimum 80 GB of the disk space. We recommend having SSD min 120 GB.Network card connected to the internal network or InternetWindows 8, 8.1 or Windows 10. We will install it on the Windows 10 Professional.Others: Based on the different scenarios
In our case we will install VirtualBox on the Windows 10 Professional that has the following hardware specifications:
CPU AMD Ryzen 3900 12 cores 24 threatsPhysical memory 32 GB DDR4SSD 512 GB NVMeWindows 10 Professional
