I am unable to install windows 10. The vm boots ok with the windows 10 iso file and gets to the initial screen. After clicking 'Install' it reports it cannot find the correct video driver. I can't get past this step.

What is wrong.

Host system:-
Ubuntu 18.04
20GB RAM
AMD CPU
240GB SSD system volume
2TB data volume.

We're going to need a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run:
  • Gather the necessary information:
    1. Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state).
    2. Observe the error, i.e. get to the point in the installation that fails.
    3. Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
  • With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
  • Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.
