Do I need a guest addition?

Post by Tiktak »

I'm going to install VirtualBox on my Windows 10 as the host,
and install Windows 7 on VirtualBox as the guest,
and install a dangerous app on this guest for testing.
Am I doing it right?
Do I have to create a guest addition for this purpose?

Thanks.

The GAs make the VM experience smoother. It isn't about "need". See chapter 4 of the user manual to find out what the GAs are for.
