How to Install Windows 10 in a Virtual Machine?


Virtual Box Installation
1. Download the Windows 10 ISO
First, head over to the Windows 10 download page If you are a Windows

user. Microsoft will prompt you to download the Media Creation Tool before

allowing you to download an OS image. You can use this tool to create an ISO

file locally, or you can follow these additional instructions to download the

ISO manually without being forced to grab the tool first.


2. Create a New Virtual Machine
Go to the Virtual Box website and download the latest version of Oracle's

free, open-source software. Go through the installation process, and then

launch the application. Press the "New" button, and name your virtual

machine. Make sure your "Type" is set to "Microsoft Windows" and your

"Version" is set to "Windows 10." Make sure you match the x64 version with

a 64-bit VM and the x86 version with a 32-bit VM.

3. Allocate RAM
Now, you must decide how much RAM you want to allocate for this VM. For

the x86 version, you'll need at least 1GB of RAM. For the x64 version, you'll

need 2GB.

4. Create a Virtual Drive


Next, you need to create a virtual drive. Microsoft says that 16GB is the

minimum space needed for the 32-bit version, but 20GB is required for the

64-bit version. A 50GB can be a good virtual desktop, but feel free to make it

as large as you need.


5. Locate the Windows 10 ISO
Now, go into the settings for this virtual machine and navigate to the

"Storage" tab. Click the disc icon with a green plus next to "Controller:

SATA." Click "Choose disk" and locate the Windows 10 ISO you downloaded

earlier.

6. Configure Video Settings


Before you jump in and start installing Windows 10, move over to the

"Display" tab. You can configure how much video memory you will allocate to

the virtual machine, but stay in the green. You can also toggle on 3D

acceleration if you like.

7. Launch the Installer


After that setup, press the "Start" button in VirtualBox and begin the

Windows 10 installation process. Follow the instructions on the screen, and

you're well on your way.


8. Install Virtual Box Guest Additions
Once you're at the Windows 10 desktop, you'll need to install all of the

proper drivers for Virtual Box. In the Virtual Box UI, select "Devices," then

select "Insert Guest Additions CD image." Navigate to that disc image in

Windows Explorer and run the installer. Once you've gone through the entire

process, you must reboot the VM.
