New to VM and a little bit stuck..needing some guidance please
Posted: 26. Aug 2021, 19:54
Hi All..
I am totally new to this Virtual Box software...
I am wondering if anyone can give me just a little guidance to get the VM working....
I am wanting to use a Windows 10 Pro based VM since I am no good with Linux based programming......
Basically I want to be able to download a couple/few links (nothing illegal) but worried that they may contain some nasty viruses that will destroy my laptop.
So to be on the safe side I would like to run them in VM firstly.. so that I can inspect them for any hidden nasties.
I have been following the Manual... but I cannot see anywhere (unless I have missed it) which explains how to even get Windows to Load up as the VM
Steps I have taken so far..
I have Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager
I have created a New machine - as Windows 10 Pro 64
Created a session
Have a Windows 10 Pro 64 disc in my CD/DVD drive
Tried to install Windows 10 on the VM....
That is as far as I have got and currently at the Blue screen with "Advanced option" since the Reset PC did not work
