Windows 10: Virtualbox Windows virtual machine has only a few display resolutions

I am running Windows 10 on a virtual machine, using VirtualBox. When I tried to change the display resolution it only gives me a few options, which are all 4:3 or 5:4. They are:800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864, 1280x1024, and 1600x1200. My PC has a monitor of 1920x1080 display, so is it possible to change the VirtualBox VM to match the screen display resolution?

Installing a Virtual Machine in Windows 10

Step #1 is to decide which virtual machine software you wish to install.

The three most popular choices are:

• VirtualBox (from Oracle)
• VMWare Workstation Player (from VMWare); and
• Hyper-V (from Microsoft)

Once you've made your choice you can find detailed, illustrated instructions for installing each one on the internet.

As a personal suggestion: You might find it easier to use either VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation Player. Hyper-V is more complicated to setup.

Between VirtualBox and VMWare, I think you'll find VirtualBox more user-friendly, and it has the advantage of allowing you to create checkpoints - backups of your virtual machine - whereas to do that in VMWare you'll need to upgrade to their (expensive!)
paid version.

 

Installing Windows10 on VirtualBox virtual machine

Hi, I have created a virtual machine (using VirtualBox) on my Windows 10 Professional 10.0.17134.285 Surface Pro computer

and would like to operate Windows 10 on that VM. (The purpose is to run Excel 64 bit

within that machine. The physical machine is already running Excel 32 bit - I need to run

both). I am having problems activating Windows 10 within the VM - are you able to help?

Thanks.
