Guest Windows Install Running Extremely Slow

Post by delete all board »

Host: Windows 10 64bit, Vbox Version 6.1.8, Host extensions; Guest Win10 64bit

Hello. I'm trying to use virtualmachine for the first time and Im having a lot of difficulty with my guest. I've ran through all the basic startup guides, disabling hyper-v and such, and Im just having this to deal with. My VM is technically running, however its taking an absurd amount of time to go through windows installation. I left it for 6ish hours and it only progressed about 60% on just the "Getting files ready for installation" stage. The entire installation process is also running this slow. I have 6 gigs of RAM, 2 threads of my 3600, 256mb VRAM allocated, plus everything is running off an SSD. Anyone know a solution?
