In fact, largely lost control of the cursor inside the VM entirely. But, for the life of me, couldn't get the cursor inside the VM to actually be able to select/press 'yes'. exe to get things started, Windows pops up a window asking me to confirm that I want to make changes to the system. Accessed GA in the CD drive OK, but when I double-click the appropriate. Got Windows 10 Ent installed inside VB.ĭid a final reboot of Windows, and then the problem(s) statreted - I *tried* to install the Guest Additions (since in past I needed to do this as the only way I could find to get Windwos to run in full screen on a Mac). at any rate, I put on my reading glasses, then managed to answer the usual install questions (even remembered to turn off networking so I didn't get prompted to create a MS account - local account is more than enough). I'm guessing this is some sort of artefact of a Retina-resolution screen on the Mac? Who knows. Set up the VM, and once I started the VM and the Windows install, didn't take long to realize something(s) had changed: the Windows install screen was 'tiny' on the Mac laptop (*maybe 3 inches x 2 inches*).
Sat down with a student today to try to install Win 10 Ent in a VM, using latest VirtualBox (6.1.32) with associated extension pack. In years past, this was no problem at all (last time was VB and Win 7 - now, trying with Win 10). Every 2 years (which is the frequency with which I teach one of the classes I'm responsible for), I have to take the ~50% of the students in the class with Mac laptops, and install Windows inside a VM - since 95% of the very technical software I (and most of my profession) uses has no native Mac version.
