Installing Big Sur onto Win10

Post by gaxmow »

Hi there,

I am attempting to setup Big Sur on Win10. I have set up the machine, imported the ISO file, etc. However it involves setup in the command line, whenever I run

Code: Select all

VBoxManage.exe modifyvm "Gaxmow" --cpuidset 00000001 000106e5 00100800 0098e3fd bfebfbff
it fails, giving error: "'vboxmanage' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.".

I've tried using PATH to fix this but it has not worked. Can anyone help me?

Windows host OS and Mac guest OS is only allowed if the physical computer is an Apple computer. OSX guests on non-Apple hardware

If you are using a real Mac, post again on the Mac Guests forum, with a zipped vbox.log:
Please right-click the guest in the main Virtualbox window's guest list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip the log file, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

PS, the Windows computer is the "host", and the VM is the "guest", so this should have gone either in Windows Hosts or Mac Guests, not Windows Guests. I'll leave this topic here so you can find it again.
