Windows 10 Enterprise Evaluation Network Issues

Post by djsflh »

I just wanted to make a post about this since I couldn't find any help after general googling.

Upon installing The Windows 10 Enterprise Evaluation copy into the latest verson of virtualbox, the virtual ethernet adapter is not functional. An easy fix for this problem is to make a change in the VM's network settings. Simply change the "Adapter Type" (settings>network>advanced>adapter type) to "Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM)"

I'm assuming this problem is adapter specific, which is why the issue isn't widespread. Hope it helps.

What did you change it from? Did you change it manually beforehand? Did you select the appropriate template when you created the VM? Because, that is the default adapter which would work immediately out of the box. If you changed it manually, of course, it won't work. Maybe that's why it isn't so widespread.
