Download VirtualBox 7.0.6

Oracle has released the third update for VirtualBox version 7.0. VirtualBox can be used to install other operating systems in a virtual environment on a computer. This makes it possible to use different operating systems on the same hardware side by side and at the same time. VirtualBox is available for Windows, macOS, Linux and Solaris, and is capable of various guest operating systems to turn. New in version 7.0 is that Windows 11 is now officially supported. The changes made in version 7.0.6 are listed below:
