That may be true, but the hardware is not the same. Your physical hardware is NOT the same as your virtual hardware. Do not expect to install the drivers for your physical hardware on your virtual machine.

I apologize for this unexcused late reply and you did solve my problem, I installed a software that can use the acpi on my windows 10 rather than using that software on my vbox windows machine.
I apologize again and thank you for your time.

No problemo. BTW, I noticed something else in your original post:

1) that's way too old, and 2) it's the fork version of VirtualBox, not the official one from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
If any problem arises in the future, our first advice is to remove the store/distro forked VirtualBox and install the official one...

I see, so before installing any software from the store I must check if it is the same as the one on its official website, actually that might explain some software issues. Thank you for the advice.

The different "stores" make it easy to install and try a variety of software. Most of the times, it's not a problem. Not in this case...
