How to Install Windows 8 on Mac and PC

[BadCaseOfNutz]

Is the Virtual box fault or does not Windows 8 support wide-screen resolution? My edition of the customer preview (installed using virtual box) can't use any wide-screen resolutions, it suck :S

Anyone know how to configure this so it actually works (with a wide-screen res.)?

[mynameisrandom911]

is there a way to get a virtual machine type thing for free?

[nithhy2003]

@mynameisrandom911 Virtual Box is a free virtual machine. Checkout the link to download in the description of this video.

[akamanonthemoon]

So once I install this it has the full capabilities of Windows 8 or is just a look around and see what it is like version?

[566223564]

@akamanonthemoon It's a developer's build; meaning it's for programmers.

[gmonk313]

Can someone tell me is there a rather simple way to remove it if it starts messing up? And do the other users on the computer see the same launcher or is it just on one?

[MrGamer799]

[username4801]

[OdyOwnz]

VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration has been enabled, but is not operational. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot.

Please ensure that you have enabled VT-x/AMD-V properly in the BIOS of your host computer.

@Pikachuclaws DNJXJ-7XBW8-2378T-X22TX-BKG7J

Try it - it should work :)

[SuperFIFTHGEAR]

Once I've downloaded Windows 8, can I ever go back to Vista/7 if I don't like it?

[hungry2019]

@SuperFIFTHGEAR yea what he said^^^^

[LeftCZ]

@SuperFIFTHGEAR Yes, you can

[rainboweed11]

@SuperFIFTHGEAR If its on virtualbox then yh

[SuperFIFTHGEAR]

Once you download Windows 8 can you ever go back to Windows 7 or Windows Vista?

[Pikachuclaws]

Isnt it illegal to download windows 8?

[KK305MK]

@Pikachuclaws It's a preview and it's available from Microsoft for free.

[usamaaslam34]

@Pikachuclaws no , microsoft provided the consumer version for free. 

[Pikachuclaws]

@usamaaslam34 i downloaded the consumer free but the code needed still comes up...

[usamaaslam34]

@Pikachuclaws microsoft has also provided us with registeration keys

wait look here

windows(.)microsoft(.)com/en-U­S/windows-8/iso

[Pikachuclaws]

@usamaaslam34 ahhhh tyvm

[usamaaslam34]

[WakingLife55]

Where do you think the best place would be to get macosx.iso?

[TurquoiseFilms]

[Luaras2402]

Really good tutorial ! keep the hard work up, thanks !

[harmontt1234]

Can anyone help me?

[zmultrin]

@harmontt1234 your pc dont suport visualisation

[thewhitemamba27]

which link is the iso because its not giving me a download?

[RodTalon00]

my computer says: attempting to load a 64-bit application, however this cpu is not compatible with 64-bit mode

[killer759607]

@RodTalon00 your computer is probably 32-bit. To check go to Mycomputer>system properties> and it will say under system type.

[Hi675445]

VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Certain guests (e.g. OS/2 and QNX) require this feature and will fail to boot without it.

[iAwesomee3]

@duncan33303 i have 64 bit laptop and i download the 64 bit windows 8 preview thingy and i got to the virtual box part and like the part where the thing is loading it said my windows dont have a 64bit thing... can u help?

[finleyenniels1997]

i've a 32bit PC, if i want to install the developer preview on virtualbox i get a error like this:

Computer needs restart

how can i bypass this error???

[96gurinder]

@finleyenniels1997 same here i get that error too can someone please help me!!!!!

[SUR3ND3RNL]

@finleyenniels1997 eeeh restart your computer ?

[nefz117]

wondows 8 looks like i should be for a tablet no a pc

[Makajezi]

@nefz117 it actually is meant for slates. Right now, there is the Samsung Series 7 and Asus eee ep121 and Asus eee b121. They support this, but sometime near the end of the year, micorsoft is going to release a big line of slates. Since these slates as a whole will make more sales than the iPad, since these slates will replace laptops, literally.

[TheGreatThingsInLife]

Also Virtual Box had a choice for Windows 8 so i chose that and it worked too.

[TheGreatThingsInLife]

Thanks, it all worked (im using a Mac too!), i am now watching this video on Windows 8 developer preview in Virtual Box.

[SuperMuddiger]

do you need to install windows 8 on a disk or is it ok to install it on the hard drive 

[bl00drushnick]

it always says i need to restart my computer when i run the thing

[bl00drushnick]

please help. i have 64 bit but it doesnt have the option for 64 bit windows 7 :(

[solnce71]

for me... I have a mac. when doing the first wizard stuff, there was a bunch of codes... can someone help me?

[bl00drushnick]

when i try to open it it says this bullshit that i cant run this if i dont have a 64 bit computer yet i do

[bl00drushnick]

it didnt work for me.

[TheEvan200]

I saw in your virtual box you had Mac so how do you get it?

[SaveTheLamps]

Thanks! It works for me!

[bing0able]

You didn't install the drivers...

[UltimateRT]

@bing0able Windows 8 pre-beta is Windows 7 based, so if you run it on top of Windows 7 you don't need any new drivers.

[oldlyswansea]

so would this work if i wanted to do only a single boot Either mac osx 10 - linux (ubuntu) or windows ?

[ezoo100100]

why cant I find windows 7 64bit although I have it

[SaveTheLamps]

@ezoo100100 Find out where your downloads from browser go. It should be in your settings

[0nRadar]

Thanks so much. First favourite ever (and I've watched probably a few thousand videos now :p) :D

[Quashawn51]

Ok so I followed all the steps but for some reason at the expanding files part of the installation of windows 8 it seems to be stuck at 30% been there for that for about 20 min. Is there anything I could do.

[Ki11aWi11]

I have 12G of RAM on my Mac, should I use 8GB?

[566223564]

@Ki11aWi11 6-8 would be fine; but I'm not too sure.

[0nRadar]

@Ki11aWi11 You shouldn't need that much, but even 2+ is enough. Just use half. Makes sense.

[MrGerry111]

can't do it....

[MrGerry111]

finger's crossed...

[TheJthare]

Apparently mine failed due to my 64bit machine not being able to detect a 64bit host server or something... I dont know what to do. i got an error message saying

[DVDROM7788]

[alexswystun1]

when i try to find my ISO download that i downloaded it wont show up, what do i do?

[TheGarbageGaming]

reasons why to dual boot

1.all RAM and CPU power goes into it

2. that is virtualization AND that means it will go slow that includes if you use vista it will be slower the RAM in your computer to make applications run faster I(can be OS based like vista) wou,ld have to run harder for that application

[TheTanmo]

I don't know what i'm doing wrong but it doesn't want to work for me -_-

[TheTanmo]

So do I need to put in a blank disc into my mac for this to work? kind of confused...

[war4life3000]

[BakugoV8]

Just noticed Windows 8 requires hardware virtualization support from the processor, which i don't have. Any way of running it without hardware virtualization?

[smiguel99]

Your the best thank you so much

[jojorapper16]

PRESS 2... He said 32 BITCH ...lol (bits)

[dan325013]

wanted to try out the windows 8 dev preview and see what all the fuss was about, so thanks for this!

[SniperXXX0716]

can you do every thing like having a bootcamp (such as install games , word........)

[JCDizon16]

The Start Logo in Windows 8 is not great than Windows 7 or Vista

[MaximMike9800]

@JCDizon16 It's better than Vista but not better than 7

[burnsriley]

When I try to do the Media Source, I click the .iso but it just says VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED

[OriginalAkuma]

Which link is the iso??????

[panthirakos91]

how is it possible to run windows 64bit ultimate, but 64bit windows 8 gives me errors? damn!

[master233120]

just found out my computer doesn't have virtualization :(

[master233120]

I create the virtual box file for windows 8 but when i set it up and run it, it says restart:error, please help

[yababyism]

What is that cpu/memory monitoring gadget on your desktop?

[nduchan1]

Nice video, subscribed & liked :)

but what program did you use to disable desktop icons and to record this video? Because this video is very smooth

[yababyism]

@nduchan1 To disable desktop icons, just right click on the desktop and go to view and uncheck the view desktop icons. Also, I just think it is his computer that is making the video so smooth. Looking at his cpu gadget run, his computer hardly breaks a sweat during the entire video and that's probly why the video quality is just so good, With a computer like his, any screen recording software would look smooth. He also has 8 cores presumably 2 different cpus, very high end.

[o0BRADD0o]

It also keeps telling me to restart?

[looolpoter]

@o0BRADD0o did you find any thing to do?

[o0BRADD0o]

It says I need to change to 32-bit but when I go into my graphics preferences it already says I am running 32-bit?

[TheNewGuyOnYT]

I have windows 7 64 bit , but for some reason , it isnt giving me the option to choose the same.

Please help.

Thanks.

[DeRockProductions]

I am having a bit of a problem. Windows 8 installed perfectly fine on my MacBook Pro 13", but Windows 8 is stretched inside the virtual machine and i have to keep scrolling up and down to see the entire screen. my screen resolution is 1240 x 800, but theres no setting for that.

[Mohannaddess]

What about the Guest Additions? did you have any luck with that?

[dragoniteblood]

@Andykiller525 Thats exactly what i get too! can someone please help?!

[dragoniteblood]

@Andykiller525 I managed to get fix this error by going into the bios on startup and enabling virtualization my VM works perfectly fine now only issue is i cant seem to get the right resolution (1600x900) because it doesn't detect my gfx card and reverts to the microsoft basic display driver :(

[Andykiller525]

@dragoniteblood On the bios stuff you talk about ur NORMAL os, right? But do you talk about your normal os or win8 in virtual box on the resolution stuff?

[dragoniteblood]

@Andykiller525 Im talking about the resolution on win8, but i think its only because its a dev at the momment so microsoft aren't concerned too much with this aspect of the visualizations.

[master233120]

@dragoniteblood where do you go to to change enable virtualization?

[dragoniteblood]

@master233120 dude you gotta go into your bios at startup and then enable virtualization from there. Different process with different motherboards. You should google yours to find out how to exactly do it. if you can get into your bios then im sure you can find it quite easily (as long as your cpu supports virtualization)

[master233120]

@dragoniteblood Yeh, I found out later that my computer didn't support virtualization...

[master233120]

@dragoniteblood where do you go to to change enable virtualization?

[HeyWOr1d]

it wont start for me when i click the 64 bit file im on a macbook pro help please

[Vasilevski2000]

[Stop4MotionMakr]

LOL thanks for introducing VirtualBox for me

[kyogre504]

how will i uninstall windows 8 afterwards?

[duncan33303]

@kyogre504 Just delete the virtual machine and uninstall VirtualBox. Be sure to have it delete the Windows 8 .vid file so you get back your hard drive space.

[PolandBoy14]

GREAT TUTORIAL, GREAT VOICE, THANKS !

[SCOEN]

i didnt get an iso file when i extracted it

[Supuhstar]

@SCOEN extracted what? The site only lets you download ISO files >.>

[TheiPodTouchTips]

@Windows7Fan1 hi if you dont like xp goto my channel and watch how to get windows 7 free and then you should have enough ram to get the developer preview in a virtual machine anyway do not replace your main OS for a developer preview cuz then you will have to pay for xp or 7 back because it runs out after a certain ammount of time

[Windows7Fan1]

Do you think this works on a XP computer with AMD 64 and 2 GB of RAM without Virtualbox/PC? I really wanna replace Windows XP cuz I dont like the style and its slow. -.-

[troy852456]

PLEASE how do you put windows 8 in virtual box

[SCOEN]
