I am running VMware 16.2.5 aok with 2 win10 guests and 1 linux guest. I have run VirtualBox in past, If I install VB on this host will it bork VMware?? Any idea? Any reason to try VB again??

I found Vbox 7 to be prone to frequent crashes/freezes, and have read complaints from some others about the same thing. Version 6 is free of such frustrations.

I can't answer your question directly but I've tended to use VBox over VMware, early last year I needed to install VMware for a course that I was doing, VBox and VMware did not play nicely together,
