You do need to remember, also, that you'll need to match your architecture. Virtualbox on Windows 11 will be able to build x86 and x64 virtual machines, but not ARM64.

This didn't stop bytecode virtual machines from being at the core of SmallTalk, a prominent object-oriented language. Even Forth uses a virtual-machine architecture.

Virtual machines emulate physical computers; they're easy to create and configure, and you can experiment without harming the host computer. Your host computer needs sufficient RAM, CPU power, and ...

IBM's VM (virtual machine) architecture has been the mainstay on mainframes, and new support for VM hypervisor hosts has been the rage on 64-bit x86 architectures.

With this method, several virtual machines with different operating systems can be run simultaneously on a standard PC, as long as the systems are all based on the x86 processor architecture. The ...

A recently released VMware Architecture Migration Tool, from Advanced Micro Systems Inc., significantly speeds up CPU-to-CPU migrations on x86 systems, according to a technical expert at AMD.
