There are a lot of practical reasons to set up an OS like Windows 10 in a VM rather than using it as a native installation. If you have to deal with files you can't trust, need to test multiple OS installations on the same system, or need access to the operating system without wanting to use it as a daily driver, using it a VM offers access to its features and capabilities without worrying about needing to keep the OS installation around long-term. Luckily, setting up Windows 10 in a VM isn't particularly difficult.

VirtualBox Installation
1. Download the Windows 10 ISO
Bookends 13 2 6 lug. VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware, targeted at server, desktop and embedded use.For a thorough introduction to virtualization and VirtualBox.
- Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x and 4.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, and OpenBSD.
- Dec 14, 2019 Download VirtualBox for Windows 10 32 bit/ 64 bit and how to install Windows 10 on a VirtualBox Virtual Machine. VirtualBox is a virtual application that allows you to install other or additional Operating Systems and run concurrently on the parent operating system.
First off, head over to the Windows 10 download page. If you are a Windows user, MS 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 if you want to download the ISO manually without being forced to grab the tool first.
2. Create a new virtual machine
Go to the VirtualBox 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. Readkit 2 6 32. Make sure your 'Type' is set to 'Microsoft Windows,' and your 'Version' is set to 'Windows 10.' Just 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 need to 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. I have 16GB of RAM in my desktop, so I decided that 4GB was right for my configuration. Whatever you decide, just make sure you stay in the green. If you allocate too much RAM, you'll end up with serious performance issues.
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. I decided on a 50GB virtual drive on my desktop, but feel free to make it as large as you need. Just be sure that you have enough space on your actual hard drive to handle the size of your virtual drive. Depending on what you intend to do with the OS, you may want to allocate more or less storage. Applications installed to a VM should be assumed to require the same amount of 'real' storage that their standard installations would.
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 then 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're willing to allocate to the virtual machine, but make sure you stay in the green. You can also toggle on 3D acceleration if you like.
7. Launch the installer
With all of that setup finished, 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 VirtualBox guest additions
Once you're at the Windows 10 desktop, you'll need to install all of the proper drivers for VirtualBox. In the VirtualBox UI, go to 'Devices,' and 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'll need to reboot the VM.
9. You're ready to rock
Back at the desktop, you can finally use full-screen mode at the proper resolution. In the VirtualBox menu, go to 'View,' and select 'Switch to Fullscreen.' For the most part, this is now the same experience you'd have running it natively. Enjoy yourself, and feel free to poke around all the new features.

Do you want to run VirtualBox along with enabled Hyper-V Manager services at the same time on a single Windows 10 machine? Then it is possible now without disabling any of them, have a look at the steps given here in this tutorial…
Earlier there was a big problem when we want to use Hyper-V on Windows machine and that we couldn't use Vmware, Virtual Box, or any other platform where we want Virtualization access. It was because Intel virtualization technology (VT-x) and the kernel access were already occupied by the existing Hyper-V service on the machine. However, that has been changed after Windows v1803 update. Now, we can run VirtualBox or VMWare workstation side by side with inbuilt Hypervisor Manager of the Windows 10 using its API.
Note: If you yet are not able to use VirtualBox without disabling the Hyper-V on Windows 10, there here is the solution… However, a few operating systems would not work and give output in the freezing of VMs on boot.
Enable Hyper-V and VirtualBox together at the same time on Windows 10
1: Open Turn Windows features ON & OFF
The first thing is to access the extra service which we want to be on Windows 10. Go to Search Box and type 'Tune Windows features On & Off'. Passfab ios password manager 1 3 2 player games.
2: Enable Hyper-V and Windows hypervisor platforms
Now, you will see various services, some of them are already enabled and others are not. So, scroll down to 'Hyper-V' and after that further down to check the box of 'Windows Hypervisor Platforms'. And then click on the OK button. It will start installing these two services on your Windows 10 machine.
Note: if you don't turn on the 'Windows Hypervisor Platforms' services then while running the VirtualBox you will get an error'
3. Restart your Windows 10 system
One all the above services installed on your computer restart it to make the update into effect.
4. Download Oracle VirtualBox
Although you might already have open-source Oracle VirtualBox on your Windows 10 system if you don't then go to the official website and download the one. Run it to install. Also, those running older version they should update their VBox software to the latest version.

5. Configure Paravirtualization Interface
To make VirtualBox compatible with Hyper-V on Windows 10, this step is very important. What we have to do is, run the VirtualBox on your system, select the created Machine that you want to run.
- For example, here I have Ubuntu 20.04 VM server edition, thus will select that.
- Click on the Settings option given in the Menu.
- Select System⇒Acceleration Tab.
- Click the dropbox given in from of Paravirtualizatiopn Interface and select the Hyper-V.
However, by default VirtualBox will access Hyper-V API, if not then setting the paravirtualization interface will do that.
6. Run the Guest Virtual Machine
Now, on the area corresponding to the select Virtual Machine, you will see:
Acceleration= VT-X/AMD-V, Nested Paging, PAE/NX, Hyper-V Paravirtualization.

This means that your VirtualBox uses the Hypervisor as a virtualization platform to create and run virtual machines of different OS such as Linux, Windows, NAS, etc.

To see everything is working fine, just click on the start and you will see the running of the virtual machine, may be without any error.
7. Run VM on Hypervisor

Test Hyper-V and make sure its machines are also working fine without my error. Open the Hyper-V Manager and start your Virtual Guest created on it.
