Windows 10: Parallels to VirtualBox Success!

[GadgetComa]

I thought I would post my success story and a tip about getting Windows 10 running on VirtualBox, migrating from Parallels on my Mac. But first, THANK YOU!

The posts on this forum were all I needed to succeed. You guys helped me understand the current level of Windows 10 support, pointed me to links for migrating from Parallels, and helped me troubleshoot errors when I made noob mistakes. (All by searching and reading, without having to make a single post! I bet no one here has ever suggested that, right? ).

Now for the tip (trying to give back to the community):

After I migrated, Windows booted, but many apps would close immediately after launching. I used the Windows 10 troubleshooting tools to reset the installation (which basically wiped settings and reinstalled the OS). This wasn't a big deal for me because I only use Windows for a few apps. Everything is working swimmingly.

I'm looking forward to a functional seamless mode, but it's not critical.

Thanks again!

Shocking, I know. I thought I'd give you folks a surprise. I'll try not to let it happen again.
