Just installed Debian 64bit and found that the maximum screen resolution that I can select in Debian settings is 1024 x 768, whilst my laptop runs in 1366 x 768.
This results in a lot of wasted desktop either side.
Is there anyway I can select the same resolution.

Host OS - Windows 10
Client OS - Debian 64bit

Install the guest additions in the guest.
See chapter 4 in your users manual.

Thanks, just tried to install the additions, but this is what I get;

I've tried Force unmount, and the same result. The VBoxGuestAdditions.iso does exist at the quoted location.

In that case open a terminal and install them.

Sorry, but I'm struggling with this.
I've read chapter 4, and probably understand 50% of it (I'm probably at the lower end of competence).
More basic support would be appreciated.

First you will need to install a few packages.

Open a terminal window and elevate yourself to root ( type su, press enter, and your password, enter again ).
Once there run the following code. Next change to the folder that has the additions and run the following. Then type reboot
