On the next two screens, follow the defaults for: "Hard disk" "create a virtual disk" "Hard disk file type" VDI For "Storage on physical hard disk," choose "Dynamically allocated.
With a "fixed size" virtual machine, the virtual machine reserves the amount of storage you specify even if you specify more than it needs.
Dynamic allocation has a significant long-term benefit: you'll be able to non-destructively modify the maximum size setting. This is relevant to Windows 10, which in my experience will need more and more storage, even if you don't install anything new.
In about a year and a half, I saw one Windows 10 virtual machine's needs increase by about 15GB. Because it was "fixed size," I was not able to change the disk size without losing data. The "File location and size" gives you an opportunity to change where on your computer you keep the files related to this VM. I do not recommend renaming the virtual hard disk file — historically, depending on the operating system, that could confuse things. But if you want to change the location, click the folder icon and select the location.
I keep my VMs in a "VMs" folder in my home folder. For the "Size," stick with the default 50GB. Remember that thanks to dynamic storage allocation your virtual machine should end up taking less space than this — expect a final size of around 20GB. Hit "Create"! In VirtualBox's sidebar, select your new "Windows 10" and then click on the large gear "Settings" button. This will give your virtual machine access to any local servers running on the host.
The default 1 works well for me, but if you want to play around with things that's where to do it. Put Windows on the VM When you're done with the settings, hit okay. At this point I recommend closing all other apps that take a lot of memory. Installation Hit "Start", and you should see the Windows 10 installer start up. Follow the installer. When asked to "Activate Windows" with a product key, select "I don't have a product key.
There are plenty of articles out there on the difference between Home, Pro, Education, and all the rest. For me a key difference is that Pro allows you to install Windows updates on your own schedule, whereas with Home they must be installed within a day.
Of course it's always good to now wait on installing system upgrades, but in my case I fire up Windows 10 every couple months to check some front-end oddity, and don't want to worry that I might be forced to run an upgrade. When asked to choose your installation type, say "Custom. You should have only one option for where to install Windows Install it! The installer will run, the virtual machine will restart, some other stuff will install, the virtual machine will restart, and then you'll be looking at the Windows 10 setup.
The following details reflect English Windows Pro, October update. It's possible your setup process will differ. Confirm your region and your keyboard layout when asked to. When asked to choose between "set up for personal use" and "set up for an organization" choose personal. You'll be asked to sign in with a Microsoft account. If you don't want your virtual machine connected to a Microsoft account, don't worry: we'll walk through removing it later. For now, if you don't have an account, create one: Click "create account" Click "Get a new email address" For the email address, I use a password manager to generate a few words strung together with periods For the alternate address, I create a second new email for example with Gmail or another new Outlook account I go with not having an enhanced online experience and not receiving promotional emails.
The installer will chug away for a little bit, and then you'll have to create a PIN. Next up is a request link to your phone. I choose "Do it later. I choose "Only save files to this PC.
