→Installing VirtualBox on Microsoft Windows
Click on the ''Next'' button to proceed to the licensing screen and read and accept the agreement. Click on ''Next'' to view the ''Custom Setup'' screen. By default VirtualBox installs both the VirtualBox application and two additional modules providing drivers for USB and Networking support. If you plan to use networking and USB devices within your VirtualBox virtual machines then it is wise to accept these defaults.
Change the default installation location if desired using the ''Browse'' button and click on ''Next'' and then ''Install'' to initiate the installation process.

Once loaded, the VirtualBox main application window will appear as follows:

== Uninstalling VirtualBox ==
VirtualBox may be uninstalled at any time using the standard Windows ''Add/Remove Programs'' applet. Alternatively the application may be removed by re-executing the installer and selecting the option to remove VirtualBox.
