![]() While the VirtualBox is a Type 2 hypervisor or hosted hypervisor that runs on the operating system installed on a host. Hyper-V is an example of a Type 1 hypervisor or bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on a computer’s hardware. There are two types of hypervisors – Type 1 and Type 2. Technology OverviewĪ hypervisor is a special software that allows you to run one or more virtual machines on a physical or host machine. In this post, we will compare Client Hyper-V(Windows 10 & Windows 11) and VirtualBox in detail with their similarities and differences in detail. There are a few similarities and differences between Client Hyper-V and VirtualBox. ![]() VirtualBox is available for free as an open source software, it has been released under the terms of GPL version 2 licensing. Oracle acquired VirtualBox from Sun Microsystems. ![]() If you have a supported version of Windows, then you already have Client Hyper-V, because Client Hyper-V is a part of the Windows operating system, it is officially supported by Microsoft.Īlthough VirtualBox is provided by Oracle, it did not actually create VirtualBox. Two of the better solution to host virtual machines on a desktop PC, or even on laptops are Oracle’s VirtualBox and Microsoft’s Client Hyper-V (Hyper-V role enabled on Windows 10 and Windows 11).Ĭlient Hyper-V is integrated into the Pro, Enterprise, and Education versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11 as an operating system feature (it was also included in 64-bit SKUs of Windows 8 Pro and Windows 8 Enterprise). Virtual machines are often run on server platforms such as VMware ESXi or Windows Server Hyper-V.
