You can use the VirtualBox program most efficiently on a computer with an up-to-date Intel or AMD processor.

I chose the advanced option of just installing Windows. Windows installation screen will be displayed. Select Windows 10 OS from VirtualBox main screen and click “Start”. Select ISO file download in previous step. Remove any empty optical drive that may exist.Ĭlick on button “Adds new storage attachement” > “Adds optical drive”. Name your OS and select the correct OS version (in my case it was “Windows 10 (64-bit)”. Open Virtual Box by going to Start > Oracle VM VirtualBox. I used a USB memory stick (filesize is 3,90 GB).

I installed VirtualBox on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus). VirtualBox is a free and open source virtualization software from Oracle. There are different virtual machines available for Linux/Ubuntu, but in this tutorial we are using Oracle VM VirtualBox.
