Windows 10: Legal use of Windows 10 in VirtualBox

Hi,I'm thinking of using Windows 10 on my machine in virtualbox native OS - Linux, but I'm confused with the legal requirements.Last time when I've used Windows at home was about 15+ years ago and I remember there were many problems with different licences.Can somebody answer the questions below, please?1 I will buy Windows on USB/download directly from this website/one of the retailers. I don't see licence options, so I assume there is only one now.I will install this version in VB and register it from there - up to this point everything should be OK?2 What will happen when I need to remo

:)

 

Can I use Windows 10 VM (legal license) on two different Hosts (VirtualBox)?

Hi,

I've a legally licensed VM with Windows 10 running on my iMac with VirtualBox. Can I copy the VM to a different computer (macbook pro) with VirtualBox and run it there?.

I will rarely use them simultaneously. Both computers belong to me and are for personal use. The use case for the VM is mainly Excel macros development.

Thanks for the advice,

Luis

 

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

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!
