Here is my video tutorial on how to install Windows 7 in Virtualbox!Virtualbox:you have a valid Product Key, use. In the Window that loads, go to the location where you downloaded the.OVA file to, and find the.OVA file. Double click the.OVA file'. Then click 'Next'. This step can take several minutes, depending on your computer. Just leave it to import. When the import has completed the virtual machine will appear in the VirtualBox main.

OVF is a file format that supports exchange of virtual appliances across products and platforms. OVA is a single-file distribution of the same file package.

The OVF and OVA formats offer the following advantages:

  • OVF and OVA files are compressed, allowing for faster downloads.
  • The vSphere Client validates an OVF or OVA file before importing it, and ensures that it is compatible with the intended destination server. If the appliance is incompatible with the selected host, it cannot be imported and an error message appears.
  • OVF and OVA can encapsulate multi-tiered applications and more than one virtual machine.

Exporting OVF or OVA templates allows you to create virtual appliances that can be imported by other users. You can use the export function to distribute pre-installed software as a virtual appliance, or to distributing template virtual machines to users. You can make the OVF or OVA file available to users who cannot access your vCenter Server inventory.

Deploying an OVF or OVA template allows you to add pre-configured virtual machines or vApps to your vCenter Server or ESXi inventory. Deploying an OVF or OVA template is similar to deploying a virtual machine from a template. However, you can deploy an OVF or OVA template from any local file system accessible from the vSphere Client, or from a remote Web server. The local file systems can include local disks (such as C:), removable media (such as CDs or USB keychain drives), and shared network drives.

Windows 10 Virtual Machine can be easily installed for free using Oracle VirtualBox virtualization hypervisor and pre-made Windows 10 Enterprise OVA virtual machine appliance. For example, if you need another Windows-based computer as a test environment in order to debug Chrome browser, Music app or Video production suite, or you simply wish to create a virtual playground to play around with different Windows options, demo software or virtual network setup, you can easily achieve that without the need to purchase another physical computer.

Basic Virtualization Terminology

  • Hypervisor is a software application used to manage your virtual machine (VM) appliance and communicate between a host computer / operating system or directly with physical hardware
  • Host Machine is a physical computer that runs Hypervisor and Virtual Machines
  • Virtual Machine is a virtualized hardware (software defined) running your favorite operating system (OS) on a similar or different physical computer hardware and/or operating system
  • OVA = Open Virtualization Format

There are many different hypervisors and software products (Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware Workstation, Oracle VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop are some of the big names in this area to name just a few – see full list here) and possibilities to install virtual machine on your existing physical computer.

Nested virtualizations are also possible e.g. Crossy road. run virtual machine inside another virtual machine inside a hypervisor (our tutorial about installing VMware Player on Ubuntu Linux was actually done on a Windows computer!).

Corel videostudio pro x8 with 32 bit. Professional server environments use hypervisors that run directly on hardware (e.g. there is no need for a host operating system) in order to maximize hardware utilization, VM performance and compatibility. This goes beyond the scope of this article, as its main purpose is focused on home users.

Windows 10 is not a lightweight operating system and there are some minimum hardware requirements in order to properly run it. With VirtualBox as a hypervisor running under an existing Windows 10 computer, we suggest that your physical machine has at least:

  • Intel Core i5, i7 or i9 CPU or equivalent AMD Ryzen 5, 7 or 9 or better
  • 8 GB of RAM memory (more is better! 2 GB must be allocated to Win 10 VM in order to run)
  • SSD hard drive (NVMe highly recommended)

Other specifications should be easily met, once you have above specs satisfied.

NOTE: Microsoft intellipoint software. Keep in mind that different VirtualBox’s CPU virtualization options (Physical Address Extension (PAE) and NX processor bit (NX), Nested VT-x / AMD-v, number of physical cores used) we changed / set in our video tutorial are specific to our system (computer) we use. In order to maximize performance of your system you may first leave default options from OVA appliance when you run it for the first time and if you receive a very slow performance, than go back and change it as we did. If you have Hyper-V enabled, VirtualBox may suffer performance loss and Win 10 VM will take forever to boot and appear sluggish. Tweaking above options can help you fix this to some extent.

NOTE: Windows 10 OVA appliance comes with a limited 60-days (trial) license and it will expire after predefined period of time unless you purchase a license and activate it.
