If you choose to enable persistence you will be able to turn off, shutdown and reboot your VM without loosing any files (or persistence!).

This is an optional step to take your virtual machine (VM) to the next level. Click “Finish” to complete installation and launch VirtualBox.Wait for status bar progress to complete.Click “Yes” to proceed past network interfaces warning.Click “Next” to confirm shortcut creation.Click “Next” to confirm features and install location.Download the latest version of VirtualBox (6.1.0).Locate and enable virtualization (“Intel Virtualization Technology,” “Intel-VT,” “AMD-V” or simply “Virtualization”).Navigate to the “Processor” or “Advanced” sections of the BIOS menu.Enter the BIOS by pressing “Delete,” “F1,” or “Alt+F4” depending on your specific system.If it is disabled, you need to reboot your computer and enter the BIOS.If it is enabled, skip to the next section.Click the “Performance” tab to check if virtualization is enabled.Press “Ctrl+Shift+Esc” to open the Task Manager.Also, if you are not comfortable navigating and using your BIOS, or what that is, it may be safer to back out now.

Note: The steps in this first section can be system and software specific and therefore may not mirror exactly what you see on your computer.
