Because

The VirtualBox UI changed, creating differences between the install guide & current user experience. Turning on expert mode will help the user's experience match the guide in subsequent steps.

This PR

  • Added instructions to the beginning of step 2.2 instructing the user to open settings and switch from Basic to Expert mode.
  • Added an image to the installations images folder

Issue

Closes #31299

This looks great! Thank you!

Only one change here to help with the linter is there's an extra space. I went ahead and suggested removing it.
