Required NTFS format for running windows from linux through VirtualBox?

[alobo]

In order to install and run windows10 on a linux machine (Ubuntu) using vmware virtualbox,
do I have to previously create a partition with NTFS format?

using vmware

Are you sure you're in the right place?

In VirtualBox, if you mean "create an NTFS partition on your host", the answer is no. All that's created is a file on your host.

Thanks for the answer.

It's OK.

Right. New posts are now semi-automatically locked. I fixed the "tongue slip" for you.

Thanks for the answer.

I assumed that it made sense for you.

You sound like a fairly new user to VirtualBox. Since you are expected to know some basic terms before we engage in a meaningful discussion, I would suggest to start by reading three small chapters from the User Manual:

• 1.2. Some terminology,
• 1.8. Creating your first virtual machine and
• 1.9. Running your virtual machine.

Or even better, read the whole chapter 1. First steps.
