Windows 10: Is it possible to Run Windows 10 In Virtualbox, and What's the Catch?

Okay, I decided to remove Windows from both of my Pcs and replace it with Ubuntu Linux. I've installed Virtualbox and decided to Run Windows 10 as a gues OS on my machines.

Here's why I've chosen to run Windows as a guest OS:

I prefer to run Windows 10 in a virtual machine because, I wanted to reduce time as I toggle between OSs.

Be aware; I've intentionally removed Windows from my local machine because, I've transitioned to Ubuntu Linux. Running Windows 10 via a virtual machine is my prefered way to run Windows.

On my HP laptop; it runs Ubuntu, and Windows is running as a guest OS... My HP tower has a same configuration.

As I run Windows 10; sometimes it hangs when running via a virtual machine., I can tall by listening to Narrator's stuttering, or voice that is sped up or slowed down.

If I am currently running Windows via Virtualbox; are there any considerations? I'm just wondering.

Sun VirtualBox

Been there and done that. Followed through enabling the 3D acceleration and as told i hit the "Install Guest Addition" to install the drivers in the guest operating system, after that i was told to reboot the VirtualBox and came to the blue windows XP shutdown screen... It was on that screen for more then 30mins and so i force a shutdown on the original Win7 OS to et rid of the VirtualBox OS shutdown screen. Rebooted and tested VirtualBox with the game and got the same error message as shown in my first post.

EDIT: Gone through all the steps till i came to rebooting the VirtualBox OS. After the system coming up normally, i checked if the 3D acceleration is enabled by running dxdiag. Here is what i get...





Need advise to fix 3D acceleration so i can go on. Thank you so much!

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
