Post by Manasa123 »

I have Used virtual box for installing Windows 10s preview version.It didnt worked properly. Would Virtual box add support to 10S full version ? as 10s is going to release after diwali or for this new year for sure. Virtualbox should support latest versions of windows

That's a quite vague statement. Unless you provide logs, diagnostics and/or other signs that it didn't work, there is no way on this side of the universe that we can test that statement...

Windows 10 S allows only apps that are downloaded from the Microsoft Store. Is Virtualbox on the Microsoft Store? I couldn't find it. I'd guess you won't be able to either, unless tons of Oracle's pay-for virtualization platform's customers suddenly start using 10 S and demand Virtualbox on the Store.

I have the feeling the the OP is talking about Win10s as a guest, not as a host.
But, without an answer...

Either way, either the host software or the Guest Additions is going to be a problem.

Yes, the solution is to change to a version of Windows that allows the installation of non Windows store apps.
