Virtualbox Installing Windows 10

[Rosangela Pinkard]

Im installing windows 10 from iso into virtual machine in virtual box. Through the installation windows wants to login into account. Is there any easy way how to proceed without login? Like disabling connection in virtual box or something like that?

But it sounds like you are asking how to avoid signing into a Microsoft account. If this is the case, disabling the network passthrough to the VM and following the options in the Windows 10 installer for offline install will allow you to create a local Windows account without signing into a Microsoft account.

It is possible for a Virtual Machine or a physical machine to install Windows 10 without an account. To do that you must complete the installation without a network connection. Since you are using a VM, you can easily just disable the virtual network until the installation completes and then activate it.

In VirtualBox, just select the machine you created before installing Windows. Open its Settings dialog box (not Properties - I used to confuse the two!) then you will see a list of components, one of the is Network. Select it.Then you will see tabs for Adapter 1 to Adapter 4. Make sure that in each tab, the Enable Network Adapter box is unchecked. By default only Adapter 1 will be checked. Then install Windows 10 into the VM.

With that said, this worked fine for myself. I was not able to replicate your issue with a standard installation of Rocky Linux. In my case, I used the XFCE desktop. GNOME (Workstation) and others should work the same way.

So, the short version of this long story is that GA seems to have installed, at least partially, but with some problems. There still are errors during compiles for the GA installation yet some of it works.

If you are continuing to have issues, I would suggest uninstalling all the drivers, rebooting, and trying to install them again. You could also start clean and just reinstall Rocky Linux 9 entirely to the VM and run through the installation steps for the guest additions.

Your VirtualBox VM should now be set up after windows installs however before you can actually use your new VM, you will need to enable a shared folder. This folder is used to access files on your Mac from your VM. If you do not have a shared folder, then you will be unable to transfer files between your computer and the VM. To configure a shared folder, your VM must be powered off.

Click the dropdown for Folder Path and select Other. Open a folder such as your desktop, documents, etc. The folder name should fill in automatically with the same name of the folder you select. Make sure that Read-Only is unchecked and Auto-mount is checked. Click OK. All program configuration is complete.

After your Virtual Machine finishes installing windows and boots to the homepage. Follow these steps to install Microsoft Office with Access. Do not do this on your Mac browser but in Microsoft Edge in the Virtual Machine.

VirtualBox is a hypervisor used to run operating systems in a special environment, called a virtual machine, on top of the existing operating system. VirtualBox is in constant development and new features are implemented continuously. It comes with a Qt GUI interface, as well as headless and SDL command-line tools for managing and running virtual machines.

In order to integrate functions of the host system to the guests, including shared folders and clipboard, video acceleration and a seamless window integration mode, guest additions are provided for some guest operating systems.

To compile the VirtualBox modules provided by virtualbox-host-dkms, it will also be necessary to install the appropriate headers package(s) for your installed kernel(s) (e.g. linux-lts-headers for linux-lts). [1] When either VirtualBox or the kernel is updated, the kernel modules will be automatically recompiled thanks to the DKMS pacman hook.

virtualbox-host-modules-arch and virtualbox-host-dkms use systemd-modules-load.service to load VirtualBox modules automatically at boot time. For the modules to be loaded after installation, either reboot or load the modules once manually; the list of modules can be found in /usr/lib/modules-load.d/virtualbox-host-modules-arch.conf or /usr/lib/modules-load.d/virtualbox-host-dkms.conf.

It is also recommended to install the virtualbox-guest-iso package on the host running VirtualBox. This package will act as a disc image that can be used to install the guest additions onto guest systems other than Arch Linux. The .iso file will be located at /usr/lib/virtualbox/additions/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso, and may have to be mounted manually inside the virtual machine. Once mounted, you can run the guest additions installer inside the guest. For Arch Linux guest also see VirtualBox/Install Arch Linux as a guest#Install the Guest Additions.

In order to avoid having to install the guest system manually, some operating systems support unattended installation. This allows the user to configure the system to be installed in VirtualBox's interface prior to starting the machine. At the end of the setup process, the operating system is installed without requiring any further user interaction. This feature requires the virtualbox-unattended-templatesAUR package.

The Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack provides additional features and is released under a non-free license only available for personal use. To install it, the virtualbox-ext-oracleAUR package is available, and a prebuilt version can be found in the seblu repository.

If you prefer to use the traditional and manual way: download the extension pack manually and install it via the GUI (File > Tools > Extension Pack Manager) or via VBoxManage extpack install , make sure you have a toolkit like Polkit to grant privileged access to VirtualBox. The installation of extension pack requires root access.

One of the non-free extension pack features is support for the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). This part of functionality can also be obtained with the open source VNC Extension Pack, by installing the virtualbox-ext-vnc package.

A security feature in Wayland (i.e. when using GDM) disallows VirtualBox to grab all keyboard input. This is annoying when you want to pass window manager shortcuts to your guest operating system. It can be bypassed by whitelisting VirtualBox:

VirtualBox does not support QEMU's QCOW2 disk image format. To use a QCOW2 disk image with VirtualBox you therefore need to convert it, which you can do with qemu-img. qemu-img can convert QCOW to / from VDI, VMDK, VHDX, RAW and various other formats (which you can see by running qemu-img --help).

VirtualBox offers simulation of TRIM in VDI files via an experimental "discard" attachment option. This option is undocumented and can be accessed by commandline or .vbox file editing. When enabled, TRIM commands from the guest operating system causes the corresponding part of the VDI file to be compacted away.

If you are running out of space due to the small hard drive size you selected when you created your virtual machine, the solution adviced by the VirtualBox manual is to use VBoxManage modifyhd. However this command only works for VDI and VHD disks and only for the dynamically allocated variants. If you want to resize a fixed size virtual disk disk too, read on this trick which works either for a Windows or UNIX-like virtual machine.

To get the storage controller name and the port number, you can use the command VBoxManage showvminfo virtual_machine_name. Among the output you will get such a result (what you are looking for is in italic):

If you think that editing a simple XML file is more convenient than playing with the GUI or with VBoxManage and you want to replace (or add) a virtual disk to your virtual machine, in the .vbox configuration file corresponding to your virtual machine, simply replace the GUID, the file location and the format to your needs:

The information about path to harddisks and the snapshots is stored between .... tags in the file with the .vbox extension. You can edit them manually or use this script where you will need change only the path or use defaults, assumed that .vbox is in the same directory with a virtual harddisk and the snapshots folder. It will print out new configuration to stdout.

UUIDs are widely used by VirtualBox. Each virtual machines and each virtual disk of a virtual machine must have a different UUID. When you launch a virtual machine in VirtualBox, VirtualBox will keep track of all UUIDs of your virtual machine instance. See the VBoxManage list to list the items registered with VirtualBox.

If you cloned a virtual disk manually by copying the virtual disk file, you will need to assign a new UUID to the cloned virtual drive if you want to use the disk in the same virtual machine or even in another (if that one has already been opened, and thus registered, with VirtualBox).

If you plan to use your virtual machine on another hypervisor or want to import in VirtualBox a virtual machine created with another hypervisor, you might be interested in reading the following steps.

Guest additions are available in most hypervisor solutions: VirtualBox comes with the Guest Additions, VMware with the VMware Tools, Parallels with the Parallels Tools, etc. These additional components are designed to be installed inside a virtual machine after the guest operating system has been installed. They consist of device drivers and system applications that optimize the guest operating system for better performance and usability by providing these features.

If you have installed the additions to your virtual machine, please uninstall them first. Your guest, especially if it is using an operating system from the Windows family, might behave weirdly, crash or even might not boot at all if you are still using the specific drivers in another hypervisor.
