How to Install Windows 10 in Oracle VM VirtualBox

VirtualBox is a powerful virtualization software that allows you to install and run multiple operating systems on your computer, including Windows 10. In this article, we will show you the steps to install Windows 10 on a new virtual machine created using Oracle VM VirtualBox.

Step 1: Download the Latest Version of Windows 10

The first step is to download the latest version of Windows 10 as an ISO file using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool. This will allow you to create a virtual hard disk for your Windows 10 virtual machine.

Step 2: Run Oracle VM VirtualBox and Create a New Virtual Machine

Once you have downloaded the Windows 10 ISO file, run Oracle VM VirtualBox software on your computer. Click on 'Machine' / 'New' from the tool menu of the program to start the VM creation wizard.

In the Name and Operating System window, type 'Windows10' in the Name field, and the System's Type and Version values will be automatically set by VirtualBox. Click Next to continue.

Step 3: Configure Memory Size

In the Memory Size window, set a suitable RAM value for the Windows 10 virtual machine according to the RAM capacity of your physical computer. Here, making the location where the VM will be installed on a portable disk will provide you with an increase in performance. If you want to store the VM in a different location, configure the Machine Folder location.

Step 4: Create a New Virtual Disk

In the Hard Disk window, create a new virtual disk for the Windows 10 VM. Do not forget to configure 4 GB as the minimum RAM value.

Step 5: Install Guest Additions Software

You can make the VM more efficient by installing the Guest Additions software on the Windows 10 system that you install on the virtual machine. With the Guest Additions software, you can exchange files between the host and the virtual computer and use the screen resolution in full-screen mode or auto-scaled mode.

Step 6: Install Windows 10

After completing the above steps, start the installation of Windows 10 from the ISO file. Follow the installation wizard to install Windows 10 on your virtual machine.

With these steps, you can successfully install Windows 10 on a new virtual machine created using Oracle VM VirtualBox. Using VirtualBox, you can install one of the Windows 10 or Linux-based operating systems on your host computer, giving you more flexibility and control over your computing experience.
