Error installing Windows 10 tech preview in VirtualBox

Recommended Posts

I wanted to install it in a virtual hard drive rather than in a real hard drive.

 

Well it worked in VMWare Workstation 10 (due to the right config settings), but not in the latest version of Oracle VirtualBox and this is what I am getting despite using the right settings and rebooting several times:

I couldn't find a site that had similar issues with this.... and the setup ISO I downloaded was a 32-bit which did not get corrupted during the download.

When you set it up, use Windows 8.1 32-bit or 64-bit depending on your ISO. Make sure it's not using EFI, enable PAE/NX in the processor tab, make sure VT-x/AMD-V and nested paging are checked on the Acceleration tab then check enable 2D and 3D acceleration. Should work fine after that.

That issue with the VT-x/AMD-V is going to wait until I get a new PC rig because none of my PC current rigs hold a CPU to use that virtualization feature.

 

I did try not to use the EFI and enabled PAE/NX and even 2D/3D acceleration, and still it did not work.
