Update to Yosemite from Snow Leopard

I have a vm with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed and am trying to update it to Yosemite 10.10. through the App Store download.

I clicked the GET button on the App Store and it downloaded a Install Mac OS X.app which I installed in the main hard drive (the one created when I first installed Snow Leopard, doing the disk utility thing). When the installation process ends (which, according to several youtube videos should take 25~30 mins, only took like a minute or so), it asks me to re-initiate the machine. I tried both Host+R and Host+Q+starting the machine, but when the machine boots again, it's just the good ol' Snow Leopard again and no HD was apparently taken.

What am I doing wrong or what else should I be doing?

(Sorry for any gramatical and technical errors, english is not my native language and i'm doing all this vm stuff for the first time with no previous knowledge or experience)

Thanks in advance, feel free to criticize or whatever.
