Uninstalling the Guest Additions in a Windows VM

Post by wlg »

I'm in the process of upgrading my Windows 8.1 Pro VM to Windows 10.
After reading many posts, I've concluded that I have to "Uninstall the Guest
Additions" to prevent the Win 10 installer from complaining about the VBox
graphics driver. Pardon my ignorance, but how do I do the "uninstallation
of the Guest Additions"? I'm running VBox 5.0.10.

Use the Windows uninstall system in the guest.
