Sandboxing also allows you to run insecure OSes more safely.
RELATED: Tell Your Relatives: No, Microsoft Won't Call You About Your Computer This makes VMs a safe place to test apps-or websites-you don’t trust and see what they do.įor example, when the “Hi, we’re from Windows” scammers came calling, we ran their software in a VM to see what they would actually do-the VM prevented the scammers from accessing our computer’s real operating system and files. Software inside a VM can’t escape the VM to tamper with the rest of your system.

If you want to run a later version of Windows-like Windows 10-but have older apps that only run on XP, you could install Windows XP into a VM. For example, as a Linux or Mac user, you could install Windows in a VM to run Windows apps you might not otherwise have access to. VMs also provide a way to run another OS’ software. When you’re done playing with an OS, you can just delete the VM. For example, they are a great way to mess around with Linux-or a new Linux distribution-and see if it feels right for you. They allow you to experiment with another OS without having to install it on your physical hardware. Hope the above helps and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.Why You’d Want to Create a Virtual MachineĪside from being good geeky fun to play around with, VMs offer a number of serious uses. You could do this as you start or over time migrating add-ons from HAOS to PVE. If you have add-ons or HACS integrations in HAOS you could also consider migrating some or whatever you can as container workloads (LXCs) under PVE. Not certain how much work is involved to start HAOS afresh you might consider this change as a new starting point instead of carrying the baggage and mistakes with you in a new installation. If I was in your shoes I would consider migrating ASAP.
Not certain how many cores your i7 supports and how heavy your BlueIris workload is, but if running things under VirtualBox works then I am confident will also run under PVE even better. You have an i7 and I hope 16GB or more RAM. Plus you can consider running other things under PVE (e.g. Running HAOS and Windows under Proxmox VE (PVE) is orders of magnitude more reliable, more performant and more powerful in every aspect compared to VirtualBox.
