    VirtualBox: Is PAE/NX option dangerous for the system?


    Hi everybody,

    I'd like to install Kali Linux on a Virtual Machine in VirtualBox.
    At startup it failed because it did not have the PAE, so I've enabled it and checked. Everything works fine, but an horrible doubt came up into my mind: as PAE exposes the Physical Address Extension, could it be dangerous to my Host system (which is Windows 10) or, worse, my computer?

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    EDIT: and the I/O APIC? I do not actually know what it is, but a tutorial advised me to turn it on. Could it be dangerous for my system (not Kali Linux, I sincerely don't care if my Kali Linux machine is destroyed, the most important thing is that my Windows - Host - and my computer are damaged in no ways)?

    LG

    :)

    The Windows 10 App Says My CPU Is Unsupported

    Windows 10's required CPU features are the same as Windows 8.1:
    PAE, NX and SSE2    . You may need to switch on NX (aka Data Execution Prevention) in your BIOS settings.

    Windows 10 (in a VM) is not finishing setup.

    I suspect 1 GB of RAM is not sufficient for Windows 10 especially the newer versions to run. Mine gets locked up when I try to use on 2Gigs too.

    Did you try to increase the memory allocated?

    For VirtualBox Windows 10 configuration I do the following steps:

    Enable PAE/NX

    Enable 2D and 3D acceleration.

    Maximum video memory 256 MB.

    with at least 3GB of RAM.

    Neither PAE nor I/O APIC have any implications for the host computer or OS, only the client. Read the VirtualBox help files for more information on these settings. They explain it better than I can.
