Stumped: bluestacks and virtualbox

Hey folks.
Really hoping to get some direction. Been trying to install bluestacks as an application into a windows 7 (virtualbox) machine running on a Windows 10 (surface book)
Installer precedes fine and then throws up an error about graphics drivers being out of date. Please update the drivers etc

Iv gone ahead and enabled everything I could think of.
I’m wondering if anyone has managed to get something like bluestacks working within virtual box?
Or willing to take on the challnage.
Appreciate any support on this.

check out Why is my graphics card not compatible?

And virtual machine uses virtual hardware


update: try one of the other Android emulators that are not so heavy graphics bound

Bluestacks is an Android emulator. I would not expect it to run well in a vm.

Update - It didn't go so well but I added more video memory in oracle VMBOX and it worked. Bluestacks 4. Please resolve this.

There is nothing to resolve.
