Windows 10: Windows 10 AU Freezes While working with Debian Guest in Virtualbox

Hello, I am kinda stuck with this one. I want to get Debian working in virtualbox with Windows 10 AU as the host and every time I do any disk activity in virtualbox my hard disk freezes for minutes at a time and the whole computer locks up. Before AU my computer did not do this. Has anyone had this problem? I have a NVIDIA 950 GTX, 16 GB of Ram and a 2 TB WD Red Hard Drive.

Thanks,

:)

 

Check your PC - indicates Windows 10 can't be installed because of VirtualBox Graphics Adapter for Windows 8

The upgrade option from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 running as a VirtualBox guest was to download the MediaCreationTool from Microsoft's website.

Executing the MediaCreationTool provides the option to upgrade to Windows 10 or create a media file.

The option for upgrading by clicking on the "Get Windows 10" icon in the system tray still doesn't work for me for the same reasons stated previously.

I'm running VirtualBox 5.0 and with the guest additions installed. Windows 10 experience with VB 5.0 isn't as clean as the experience with Windows 8.1. Only the Full Screen mode works cleanly. The seamless mode (which I prefer) hides the task bar. I
believe this because VirtualBox 5.0 guest additions don't explicitly support Windows 10 yet.

I had to retreat back to 8.1 because the Edge browser wants to force me to use a specific JRE version and not use the version that I have installed.

For me, I won't be going to Windows 10 until VirtualBox fully supports it and I find a workaround for the Edge/JRE issue that I'm experiencing.

 

Moving a Windows 10 virtualbox guest pc to a new host. Any issues?

I have a virtualbox pc running Windows 10 Home (upgraded from Windows 7 Home Premium, which was installed with a full retail key). I need to move this guest to a new host. I've done this before with Win7 guests, although sometimes I've had to do the
telephone re-authentication. Are there any issues with doing this with Windows 10?

(And no, I'm not trying to run 2 copies of this guest. I'll be doing a full shutdown of the guest, and virtualbox. I'll copy the files to the new host and remove them from the old host after the migration is successful.)
