 Hey everybody, welcome back to the channel today. We're going to be talking about the great Satan of Linux Windows 10 And I Want to talk a little bit about that first There are many reasons why you'd want to use Windows 10. I personally have a I dual boot Windows 10 sometimes I have a partition for it, but I don't get into it very often, right? I have it so I can play Hearthstone, which is a game from Blizzard and they don't have a Linux client because they're Bad bad people So I have to get into Windows in order place But the thing is it's such a pain in the ass to have to go through and log out of Linux shut my computer down reboot into Windows 10 deal with all the Windows 10 startup issues because you know 10,000 things start up every time you start up Windows and you got all those pop-up notifications and half the time Oh, you got to do us a System update before you can do anything and we're gonna reboot whether you'll like it or not It's pain in the ass Now I'm not here to solve those problems today, but at least not all those problems Today I'm gonna talk about how to Install Windows 10 in virtual box on Linux now these instructions are specifically on an arch install I'm pretty sure they'll be the same on Every Linux distribution, but you don't quote me on that so the first thing you're gonna there are some prerequisites You're going to need there. You'll need a Windows 10 ISO I will leave a link to that in the description below You'll need virtual box installed and set up and you'll need your computer configured to run virtual machines Those first two are really easy there's a lot of there's a lot of instructions on how to Install virtual box, but just installing is not enough It's that third one that's gonna be a problem for a lot of people if you're running an Intel processor chances are you're gonna be good to go Most and I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that all most modern Intel processors Come out of the box supporting virtualization. You don't have to do any settings Now if you're running a Ryzen or anything like that from AMD you will have to go into your BIOS and Enable virtualization how you do that is going to be very hard. We're dependent in other words It's going to depend on what motherboard you have if you have a you know a custom Motherboard from a, you know, I'm a Dell or something or if you've built your own computer. It might be different Where that is is going to be dependent a lot on your BIOS So you'll have to find out what hardware you have and then Google how do I enable virtualization technology? And you should be able to find a tutorial not too hard It's usually just like one checkbox, but it differs depending on what hardware you have Okay, so if you have those three things you've got when you got virtual box installed And you have your Windows 10 ISO Downloaded that you'll want to go through it and start virtual box. It looks something like this You won't have all these extra Machines here because obviously I've done some machines before But your first step is to click new and you'll want to name this your Windows 10 and I'm going to call this Windows 10 to You'll want to store this in a virtual box folder but chances are I think it creates this for you I'm not sure If not, just create one called virtual box VMs And you want to select Microsoft Windows from this drop down. You'll want to select Microsoft 10 64 bit now you might select 32 bit if that's the version of the ISO you downloaded so if When you download the ISO you get to choose between 32 and 64 Whichever when you download it, that's the one you're going to want to choose from this list Okay, then you want to hit next and you'll want to suck the memory size of the virtual box now the virtual machine this Is going to depend on how much Ram you have in your computer I usually give this around eight gigabytes because I have 64 gigs in my computer It's not like window or Linux Linux You could probably get away with doing it give it four gigs But Windows you want to give it a nice nice healthy amount of RAM As much as you can spare without, you know, slogging down your actual main computer So if you can if you have eight gigabytes You've probably not going to want to be doing this 16 is what I would really recommend For your total and then give it a good quarter that at least four Gigabytes for the virtual machine is probably as low as I would go so and you want to hit next You want to make sure this middle radio box is create virtual hard disk now and create And you want to hit vhd here in the middle Next and you want to make sure dynamically allocated. It's also installed or selected hit next And here is where you select the hard drive size Um it defaults for windows at 50 gigabytes. I just go ahead and leave it there And then you've created it now technically you could go ahead and hit start And you'd end up with a black screen. So You have some more substitutes. You want to right click on this and hit settings And we'll move this down to here. I'm sorry. I can't make this a little bit bigger for you people For you people for you guys all right, um The first thing you want to do is go down here to display And you want to make sure that this is as high as you possibly can get it Uh for your video memory. Okay, and I always select enable 3d Acceleration so that I can crank that right up to 256 Makes windows look a little bit better on windows or on linux. You don't always have to do this But it's good to do. Um The next thing you want to do is go down here to storage And hit this empty thing here Where it says empty and then you want to click twice on this and then choose Choose or create a virtual optical disk And then you'll get this pop up here And you can either hit add if it's not if it doesn't appear in this list And and then you just navigate to your downloads folder. Um, I've already done this. So it's already right here windows 10 20 h2 english 64 iso I choose that And I want to hit click i want to click uh live cd dvd and then hit Okay, I think I'm pretty sure that's all I needed. Oh you want to I need to go through and do uh Change the the processor. So you want to also hit go up to system And here where it says processor you want to give it more than one core I'm going to head and give it four cores of my eight core cpu um I guess it's it comes to 16. So I get four. So I give it a quarter and then and then it's okay to hit hit. Okay um Now you can hit start um Hmm This didn't happen the last time I was doing it. So if that comes up, just go ahead and hit start Um, that just means you've downloaded your uh guest editions and then it will it will probably go through and See I did I did this earlier and it had no problems. Okay. So, um Close Nope, we just want to Close that down and maybe restart See if it will go through No bootable medium found Okay, we did something wrong All right hit settings Go back to storage Uh See where it says this that's definitely not the way it's supposed to be look This here and this here Choose Okay Now See if that comes up again. Here we go. That's working That that's really weird um Anyways, for whatever reason it switched to the iso of the guest editions instead of reading off from the windows iso If that does it to you just you got to go back through and make sure you've selected the right thing After this it's just a basic window setup. So I'm going to go ahead and try to make this a little bit bigger And we'll go ahead and uh hit next install now I'm gonna go ahead and run run your right through this. It shouldn't take Too awful long. Um, I'm not gonna enter a product key because Um, I just you know don't you choose your version of windows I always just do home because all the rest of them are scams basically I mean They have to wait too many skews And you want to hit custom and you want to hit new and apply Okay And then next And then it's going to go through and it's going to install windows Um, and I will go ahead and cut the Video off here and I'll come back when windows is installed and I'll show you how to install guest editions Okay, I'm back. Um, once windows installed you'll get Cortana here and it'll help you through setup um We just go ahead and This is the most annoying part of windows It's setting it up most of the time uh What's great about linux and while we're waiting for this is uh, all you have to do is install it once you've installed it You can start using it. Um Windows you have to have to set things up like why do I have to set things up? It should it's already installed. What's more that is more there is there to do I mean, I can understand like network. Sure, but I don't want to have to use an account Why do I have to use account and there's no way to not use an account as far as I know Um, so I'm going to give them I have a microsoft account because of course I do oops Yes, my microsoft account is a gmail account. So screw you microsoft And uh password this is I mean And a pin like I have a password. Why do I also need a pin pin is not as nearly as secure as a as a You know Your account requires a windows pin like no, it doesn't I don't need a pin Fine Oh microsoft you're a pain in my ass This rent was brought to you by the linux cast Okay, like are we there yet do it later? I would have done all of this later Um, and there's only save files to this pc. Okay because One drive deletes files all the time. Why would you want to use it? No, thanks Not now I showed you this so I could bitch it somebody about how terrible windows is Uh, and there's somebody out there. Well, then why do you want to install windows? Because I want to play hearthstone and blizzards won't bring it to linux I mean, it's really as simple as that Not that I you know Expect hearthstone to be fantastic on a virtual machine. Well, this is gonna have to I haven't tested that out yet I might do a separate video on that Uh, we'll see If not subscribe to super noob and you'll see me play some hearthstone on that channel I'll leave the link for that in the description below as well This might take several minutes Okay, well now i'm done bitching. I'm gonna go ahead and pet pause again Okay Here we are again Windows is installed. Yay No, and I don't want to do any of that stuff windows is Terrible. Anyway, so the question is how do you get this to at least take up the full screen? And the answer to that is you have to do guest editions so Once you're here go up here to this device menu and click insert guest editions add on cd image And it's going to download some things probably for you. It may not if you've done it before um I think now I think it will ask a couple a couple of things If you do if you've done this for the first time All you have to do then is hit okay twice. All right Now you want to open up your uh file manager here And hit this pc and See where it says virtual box guest editions You want to double click on that and then you want to choose one of these last two So if you want if you downloaded the 32 bit you want the last one if it's 64 you want to be 64 one hit yes Hit next hit next hit install wait for it to You hit install again And then hit reboot now and just finish and it will reboot you can Reboot your machine And another thing that windows will take forever to do is reboot um And I'm not sure what those visual artifacting is about What what all that what that's I'm not sure what's going on I have a feeling that has something to do with me being in a window manager versus a uh um Like a desktop environment so if now if you hit your Right control and the f key It's going to take you to this which is pleat B.s. I'm not sure why it won't go full screen like a regular vm. I haven't figured that out yet, but if you hit the um If you if you exit out of that by that menu there at the bottom And then hit your control and your f key again. It'll actually Bring you back here. It's a pain in the butt and I'm also Not sure why uh Your my taskbar is transparent That's another bug. I'm not sure what's going on there. I maybe I'll be able to figure that out sometime But anyways, that is how you install windows 10 on In virtual box on linux. Um, like I said, there are some bugs I'm sure I'm doing something wrong there The things you'll definitely make you need to make sure you've done Prior to this that I just want to highlight You want to make sure that you've set your vram as high as it will go either 128 for regular or 256 if you've enabled 3d rendering You may end up having it Run better without the 3d Great the 3d graphical rendering or whatever. So try both ways The other thing is make sure you've allocated windows enough cores of your cpu Otherwise, this will be so slow. It'll be completely unusable. Anyways Thank you for watching.
