Windows 10 Guest Additions Builds

Post by Net-Smart »

1. I am looking for guest addition builds compatible with windows 10 insider preview.
2. I assume the standard guest additions do not work properly in any default windows 10 guests yet.
3. Where can i find a virtualbox version that fully supports windows 10 guests.
4. How do i get 2D and 3D acceleration in windows 10 guests.
5. How do i get sound acceleration in windows 10 guests.
6. Is there a fix for windows 10's low latency audio emulation issues?
7. Is the new windows 10 gui accelerated by virtualbox graphics adapter, if not when?
8. How to make windows 10 guests use more than 1 core without lag and delays.

Downloads compatible with unknown beta software? That's a logical contradiction.

VirtualBox only supports official release builds, whether for host or guest.

Not really, it's the safest way to test new things in, also the same problems exist in regular windows 10.

I still want the answer if we ignore point one.

Don't use the insider preview if you need a working system.

Why would the devs create additions for an OS which will be replaced by a newer build in a few days?

I don't use it as such, i use it for sandbox testing windows 10.
