Hyper v vs virtualbox windows#
Windows partition: This is the partition that contains the Windows OS and will be drive C: The current hypervisor type is shown in the application title bar:īooting an image directly from Macrium ReflectĪn image that contains the Windows System and Boot partition(s) can be directly booted from the 'Restore' view in Macrium Reflect.īoot partition: This may be the same partition as drive 'C:' but is likely to be a separate small (100 to 300 MB) partition named the Microsoft System Reserved partition or MSR. See the VirualBox Change Log for more information on this. If VirtualBox v6.1.4 (or later) is installed alongside Microsoft Hyper-V, VMs will not run with optimum performance.


This doesn’t affect the state of existing VMs, whether they are running or not: Macrium viBoot will be restarted after changing Hypervisor mode. Please run "bcdedit / set hypervisorlaunchtype off" after disabling Hyper-V feature from "Turn Windows features on or off" Microsoft Hyper-V feature must be disabled for VirtualBox 6.0.xx to function. Note: VirtualBox less than v6.1.4 cannot be run on Windows where Microsoft Hyper-V service is running. ViBoot can be switched between Hyper-V and VirtualBox mode using the ‘Tools’ menu: In addition, VirtualBox includes a USB pass-through virtual device that enables USB drives, including flash, to be accessible from inside the Virtual Machine. VirtualBox v6.1.4 can be run on Windows 8/Server 2012 R2 and later regardless of whether the native OS includes a Windows Hypervisor layer. VirtualBox provides an alternative to Microsoft Hyper-V for instant image virtualization. We’ve added direct support for Oracle VirtualBox by implementing.
