Hi, Thanks for your advice.
> export the VMs to hardrive Whether export all VMs to an external HD. My problem is the HD of the computer is 1T, almost 65 percent of the space has been used. I have no spare HD for storing all VMs unless I purchase a new HD for this purpose. In the later case I would install the latest version of VBox on the new HD and reinstall all VMs on the *.vdi > uninstall the old version Whether run dpkg to remove the old verson? TIA B.R.
