I have the same problem. Windows 10 hangs on boot from virtual DVD. I run the latest virtualbox on 64-bit Windows 8.1 Enterprise host. I see DVD activity for a while and the cpu time is something like 15 % for a while, but then everything just stops and setup never starts.

Thanks rseiler, i have Virtualbox in my W8.1 and i'd like to try W10 as guest.

I'm on a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 host and I tried all the things mentioned here and more, but none of these things seemed to work for me. If it makes a difference for anyone here; the way I got it to load past the boot logo was to remove the default IDE controller which included the ODD drive that was created for me, add a SATA ODD drive to the SATA controller, then load the ISO into that.

Now I've got the Windows 10 installation screen in front of me, let's see how far I get...

Edit: : Well I got as far as installing Windows 10 itself. I tried installing Guest Additions after bootup but got an error saying it "cannot be installed on this version of Windows."

I had problems getting this to install initially, got the 0x0000005D error. Checked settings and for some reason my CD Drive was set up as IDE, my HD as SATA. I changed them both to IDE and it's working fine now.

I am going through the processes of updating a clone of my windows 8.1 guest to the Win 10 technical preview. I will report back if it worked.

Win 7 64 bit host, no luck installing directly in a new machine.

edit: nope, started twice, gets to the end and rolls itself back stating win 10 could not be installed

Topic moved to "Windows Guests" forum.

For what it's worth, I've installed Windows 10 twice without a problem.

First install was on a pre-existing Windows 8.1 (64bit) guest.
Second was a new guest using the Windows 8.1 (64bit) template.
The only change I made to the template was to increase the .vdi size to 40GB and 2 CPUs. I don't think the changes were necessary though.

Mac OSX 10.9.5 Host. VB 4.3.16

video memory must be greater than 51MB.
I succeed at 128MB, set by [display]tab of detail.

after several tries, i was able to get it to install using the windows 8.1 64bit template, no changes over default.
