VirtualBox 7.0 for Mac with M1 and M2 Chip

VirtualBox has been a popular software for many years, but starting in 2020 it will not work with Apple's new ARM processor. This means that if you want your Windows ARM on M1/M2 Macs then there are only some paid applications available which can help out.

VirtualBox offers an unique set of features that other virtualization software can't do. For example, VBoxManager is a tool for managing Virtual Machines. It allows you to customize your settings or convert any disk image into virtual disks that can be used with other programs, such as VMware Workstation or Parallels Desktop. With VirtualBox, you can have your Mac and Windows side by side, this is done with the Seamless mode where windows from within a virtual machine will appear next to those on screen.

It's a good news for all the VirtualBox users who are waiting to experience their favorite software on an ARM chip. The recent release of VirtualBox 7.0 developer version allows them this opportunity, and more importantly it is free! VirtualBox 7.0 for Mac is a developer beta software, and it may have some problems when installing or running on your Mac. Once you've installed that go ahead and report any problems back to our team so we can make sure everything works as expected on your Mac.
