Oracle VirtualBox now supports Windows 11, macOS Big Sur, Monterey and other operating systems

Oracle’s VirtualBox version 7.0.0 Beta 1 brings several major changes in host operating system support. Virtualization software is finally getting the ability to run on Windows 11 as the host operating system. Previous VirtualBox version 6.1.36 did not support Windows 11 hosts, but Windows 11 guest templates are supported starting with version 6.1.28. However, planned TPM passthrough does not exist in 6.1.28.

This change is mentioned in the new version of the user manual (PDF), which notes Windows 11 21H2 support. In addition to Windows 11, the new VirtualBox 7.0 Beta 1 also gains support for macOS 11 (Big Sur) and macOS 12 (Monterey). On the Linux side, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and 22.04 LTS are now supported, as well as Debian 11.
