Hi everyone, I am trying to install a windows 10 iso on vm box and everytime I try to install it my laptop gets sluggish and I get an error message which is weird because I installed server 2016 without a problem.
log below

Re: Windows 10 iso install critical error
You can't allocate resources to a VM when the resources don't exist.00:00:03.355030 Host RAM: 7880MB (7.6GB) total, 1587MB available <-- this is the RAM your host has (total and available).
...
00:00:03.585825 RamSize <integer> = 0x00000001f4000000 (8 388 608 000, 8 000 MB, 7.8 GB) <-- this is what you assigned.
00:00:03.586016 VRamSize <integer> = 0x0000000008000000 (134 217 728, 128 MB)
I assume you understand that the host OS uses some of that 8GB host RAM, the log shows you were left with 1.6GB after that. So, the max you could assign to a VM would be around 1GB, because you need to leave some working RAM. If you want to assign more RAM to a VM then you need to free up more RAM on the host, or add more RAM to the host.
