Introduction:

Welcome to the tutorial on creating a VirtualBox with TailsOS, Oracle VM VirtualBox is simple yet powerful as it can be run from a multitude of devices such as small embedded systems to datacenter deployments whilst TailsOS is a portable operating system that protects against surveillance and censorship.

Always prefer the live mode that doesn't leave any kind of forensic trace. Always prefer Linux as a host.

How can I check my system's hardware?

Click the Start button and type "system information" then open it.

You can find most of the details you need on the first page, in the System Summary node.

You can also expand each node in the left pane for additional information.

2. Setting up the VirtualBox:

What is a VirtualBox?

In short, VirtualBox is a tool developed by Oracle to allow running multiple operating systems simultaneously. This allows easier software installations, better testing, faster disaster recovery, and it significantly reduce hardware and electricity costs.
The complete introduction can be found here:
virtualbox.org - Chapter 1. First Steps

How to install the VirtualBox?

You can install VirtualBox by downloading the executable file for your operating system.
The download page that can be found here:
virtualbox.org - Downloads

3. Setting up Tails OS:

Running Tails in a virtual machine is easy. First you need to download an ISO (Optical Disc Image) with the latest Tails Operating System (OS). This ISO image will be used to emulate inserting a CD to our VirtualBox to set up our Tails OS machine.
The Tails OS ISO image can be found here:
tails.net - Downloads

Running Tails in a virtual machine:

Start VirtualBox, and follow below instructions: A) To create a new virtual machine:

Choose Machine ▸ New
In the Name and operating system screen, specify:
- A name of your choice.
- Type: Linux.
- Version: Other Linux (64 bit).
- Click Next.
In the Memory size screen:
- Allocate at least 2048 MB of RAM.
- Click Next.
In the Hard drive screen:
- Choose Do not add a virtual hard drive.
- Click Create.
- Click Continue in the warning dialog about creating a virtual machine without a hard drive.

B) To configure the virtual machine to start from our ISO image:

Select the new virtual machine in the left pane.
Choose Machine ▸ Settings....
Select System in the left pane.
In the Extended Features section of the Motherboard tab, make sure that Enable I/O APIC is enabled.
Select Storage in the left pane.
Select Empty below Contoller IDE in the Storage Tree selection list in the right pane.
Click on the CD icon on the right of the window and select Choose a virtual CD/DVD disk file... to browse for the ISO image you want to start Tails from.
Check the Live CD/DVD option.
Click OK.
