Windows 7 vs Windows 10 hosts and VirturalBox 5.0

Post by azerger »

Has anyone had a chance to look at performance differences between the new VirtualBox 5.0 release on Windows 7 vs. Windows 10 host system. Are their any disadvantages or advantages of upgrading ones host to Windows 10 with using VB 5.0?

Not that I am running out to get MS free upgrade, but looking for pro's and con's from the host side perspective here if any exist.

Thanks,
Art

Well, currently a Windows 10 host officially doesn't exist yet and is not yet supported by VirtualBox.

I don't see why this was posted in "Windows Guests"? Moving it to Windows Hosts, and note that we already have a sticky topic for discussing Win10 hosts, so no redundant duplication here please.
