Just like this 😀

Now I recommend you guys to watch my previous Video on how to download windows 10 ISO.

If you guys don’t have windows 10 ISO file then you can follow this video down below it’s by me. Because we need an operating system before we get started to make virtual reality thing 😉 .

Download windows 10 ISO file if you don’t have yet:

Once you have downloaded open up your virtualbox then now click on New and name anything you want. You can name anything that you want, it don’t really matter at all  so just chill and use your favorite name.

But Make sure that you have choose version as it match with your ISO file! As mine here is windows 10 64 bit. So your might be 32 bit right ?So make sure to do that as well.

Choose correct setting for yourself 🙂

Then click on next, Now give memory size. You can give as much as you want but make sure that it is not way too high. Because if you guys give more memory this might be good for your virtualbox but it won’t be good for your computer.

Because your real computer also need to handle those processes in background. So keep in mind never go broad than half of ram that you have.

Well if you guys have less ram then i recommend you guys to upgrade your ram as you  don’t want to go broad it might crash your operating system.

Once you have expand your ram to half of it’s size now you can simply click on next to proceed:

Windows 10 On Virtual Machine

expand your ram on virtualbox

Now as you guys can see you need 32.GB of hard disk to install windows 10 you can also decrease if you want. So, choose to create VDI (virtual disk image) then click next.

So, it’s asking us to choose hard disk format type  type, i recommend you to choose VDI and click next again. Now at to the Storage on physical hard disk choose as dynamical allocated always.

So now it’s time to choose hard disk. You can create as much you want because this is virtual harddisk. setting up even a 1 Tb don’t matter at all. It wil not wipe up all the size of your hard disk.

It will use size and space according to we have used. It’s kinda like a fake path only.  So you can expand as much space you want to have chill.

Windows 10 On Virtual Machine

select hard disk size in virtualbox

Click on next once you have desire your hard disk size.

Let’s install Windows 10 On Virtual Machine:

Now this is the main part to launch your operating system. So after following my above steps you guys have just created an emulator for running next operating system.

So i want to congratulate for you that you have successfully created your very first emulator.  Yea!!!

Setting up emulator to install windows 10 on virtual machine:

Now you can already see your virtual machine is at left side. Just Right click on windows 10 and click on setting, then click on storage first because we need to insert ISO file. Just like this:

Inserting Windows 10 ISO file:

Now don’t freak out guys because you really do not need any kind of cd/DVD drive for to insert the ISO by burning or making it boot-able. Because your emulator can read ISO file. So let’s go and insert the downloaded windows 10 right now

You can see there is the disc icon just right side. Now select empty and click on disc icon, then find your downloaded ISO file then click on open. 🙂

select ISO file for virtual box

Next step is move on to system tab then increase number of processors. You need to have good Processor yourself in your computer to get good number of processor on virtual machine.

Because your virtual machine will also limit the number of your processors.  You can’t increase like 5 processor if you have just 5 on your real world computer.

Windows 10 On Virtual Machine

virtualbox processor count

But if you want to have good number of processor you need to buy core i5, core i 7 series.

Get good processors here:

What are the good processors so ?

Do you know about xeon processors ? they are freaking cool. Xeon are server base processors it have  22 cores running at 2.2GHz.

Great thing is that it fits in just one processor socket. If you want to have xeon processor you can go ahead and buy that here.

But guys to use xeon processors you need to have a server base motherboard as well. if your using daily LGA socket type mother board it wont fit in those type.

So you also need to buy server base mother board to use xeon processor. With this processor of computer you can entirely run big giant work station.

Well If you are not able to increase processor no problem at all. You can skip this part. The more processor you’re going to increase the more faster it will be.

But if you have potato or bad PC you must be upgrading your computer as soon as possible.

All right now once you have done this all click on Okay.
