Upgrade Host/Guest OS and VB upgrade questions

Post by Vale46 »

Hello - I've tried to look across this forum and the web about easiest way to upgrade VB as well as host/guest OS and couldn't find anything, hence this post....

For starters, I recently started using VB on Mac Host with Windows guest. Next, I'd like to
1. Upgrade OS X Yosemite to El Cap
2. Upgrade Win 7 to Win 10

Would be great to hear from people to shore their experiences/pitfalls while upgrading host/guest OS. On the Win upgrade side is it better to upgrade through an .ISO or use MS preferred approach?

Also, I see VB has upgraded to 5.0.22 (I'm running the previous version). When I do upgrade a VB version, do I need to uninstall/reinstall VB Guest additions during the upgrade?

If I missed previous discussion on these topics, my apologies in advance, would appreciate if you could direct me to the relevant posts.

rgds,
Ash
