Windows 7 guest small windows on windows 11 host
Hello guys I'm new. I just installed on my windows 11 virtual box and followed some guides to install windows 7 on it and I'm ok with everything except that the w7 screen is smaller than my laptop size. I installed the guests. I'm using virtual box 7 the last one I downloaded it yesterday. Why the size is smaller even with guests installed? Someone can help me? I need the w7 screen to be big as my laptop.

Does it go full size if you select the Full-screen mode option from the dropdown list you get when you click View at the top of the vm window?
You can also change the screen resolution from within the guest.
If you have installed the Guest Additions, you can also resize the vm window by simply dragging a corner of the window. That is what I do (which is why my screen dimensions in the screenshot are non-standard).

Already set the screen resolution inside the guest nothing changes. When I do full screen it opens full screen the window but the windows 7 screen is always smaller
