Have UbuntuStudio v18.04 installed on SSD drive, with VirtualBox v6.0 installed. See that an update is available.
But in Synaptic Pkg Mgr it doesn't show it installed, but does show several version including 6.1.
My VM is on another Hard Drive I connect ONLY when using VBox (have Kingswin Switcher).
So, should I uninstall via Gdebi Pkg Installer? Then install fresh v6.1 - or - upon install will the install process see a current version and update it?
Want to do this before upgrading System from v18.04 to v20.04. OR, perhaps wait to FRESH install v20.04 before installing Virtual Box?!?!
Also see notes that QEMU-KVM is better than Vbox. Can I export my VM to be compatible with KVM? Or would I have to start all over building a new VM?
(see this post https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2464211
I use charting software and would hate to start over, as I have tons of Data on Stocks, Futures, ETFs using MetaStock with all kinds of extra Indicators etc. add ons. I need an easy but safe way to upgrade my system while keeping my existing VM safe and usable after an Upgrade to 20.04.
Any thoughts would be very appreciated!
