I'm preparing to install Virtualbox and want to know if this is still the best method and correct syntax.
I made one change on the last line. Is this correct? viewtopic.php?f=90&t=300723&p=1678327#p1678327
Already ran apt purge virtualbox. There were no previous installations.
The upgrade to 19.3 was smooth and successful.

And the first line only like that because it's bugged on Mint. Users of my PPA can just do the following, but this will fail on official Mint on several levels:
Thanks gm10
Much appreciated. Installation seems good.
I modified the thread title to include Extensions. Hope that's OK.
I was advised to add Guest Extensions

I suspect you will have to install VirtualBox, and then install some version of windows there.
and then run the executable within the Windows program inside VirtualBox. Make sure you install Guest Extensions.
I followed the instructions in the included Help section Installing Oracle VM VirtualBox and Extension Packs

Guest Additions (that's their actual name) are included with the virtualbox-6.1 package. You install them from the running virtual machine's devices menu, there's an option at the bottom to insert the guest additions image.
What you downloaded is the optional extension pack for when you want to use your host system's webcam or USB2/3 devices in the virtual machine, otherwise there is no reason to install it.

Did this ok GM and it installed fine. However, when I clicked on the /mnt/Sandisk/Windows 10 VM/Windows 10 VM.vbox that my Windows 10 install is on (SSD) I got the following error.
I assume it is still pointing to the old VB 6.0 which I do not think is completely eradicated from my system. Any idea how to circumvent this?

Running Linux Mint MATE on 2 desktops + Linux Mint Xfce on Netbook + Cinnamon VM on 3rd Desktop
Morning GM, I noted that " mark at the end of the first command and left that out as I assumed it a typo. Anyway it worked and then ran the second command and all seemed to go well. However, when I selected the vbox I have now got a second error.
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows 10 VM.
Implementation of the USB 2.0 controller not found!
Because the USB 2.0 controller state is part of the saved VM state, the VM cannot be started. To fix this problem, either install the 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack' or disable USB 2.0 support in the VM settings.
Note! This error could also mean that an incompatible version of the 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack' is installed (VERR_NOT_FOUND).

I had previously installed that so assummed that the first command had removed it and re-installed the extension pack and this time it vbox booted fine. I did try to do this first of all by terminal using this command
but that did not work; tried leaving the Oracle and then the VM bit off but neither of them worked. Out of interest what would have been the proper terminal command for that. I Finished up doing through VM Virtualbox.

Yep that is where I got it from and when I right clicked on it, the top line said "Open with Oracle VM VirtualBox" and that did the trick. Many thanks for your help. I would have put SOLVED but as I was not the instigator of this thread did not not think that was correct. So have noted it on my thread here viewtopic.php?p=1746370#p1746370
