How to download windows 8.1 10 or 11 from microsoft website?
Installing windows on oracle virtual box manager
Open oracle virtualbox application Then go to new option
If you can’t find the 64 bit version here, you need to disable hyper-v from windows features. (Seach for windows features and open turn on or off windows features. Then you can disable hyper-v)
Enter the name of your operating system and click on next (You need to check the windows version once again before continuing from here. Also, check the bit version. Otherwise VM will get compatible issues) Now select the RAM size for your virtual system
If you have more than 8gb ram you can select 4gb as the RAM size of VM. But if you want to use both systems at once select 2gb for virtualbox. Other than this, if its windows 10 or 11 its better to have 4gb ram as the RAM size of virtual box. Also you need to consider about this green and red bar of RAM choosing window, because it will help you to select the smoothest RAM size for virtual box and don’t select the size exceeding green bar. Select create a virtual hard disk now and click on next. Or if you have a already windows installed .vhd file you can select it. Select VDI and continue
When it comes to Storage on physical hard disk you can goto dynamic allocated method or fixed size method.
If you selected dynamic allocated method, it would only take the disk size that you have used on virtual system. But this will decrease the real performance of your virtual machine. It will grow up with the storage usage but won’t exceed the limitation that you already selected. If you can select the fixed size method, it’s better to get the maximum performance from your virtual OS. However, it will take some time to create the virtual hard disk. What is the optimum size for you to choose as the size of your VM hard disk?
Windows xp needs 1.5GB for complete installation
Windows 7 needs around 20GB for complete installation
Windows 8.1 needs more than 20GB for complete installation
Windows 10 needs 32GB for complete installation
Windows 11 needs 27GB for complete OS installation. But its needed 64gb hard drive.
These are the allocated windows OS installation sizes for virtual box. But real measurements can be different than this. Also, the virtual box hard drive sizes must be chosen in according to the sizes of the software that you are going to install in virtual system.

In this case, this shared folder will help you to share your files between the operating systems Now select that folder and enable auto mount option (if you have make permanent tic, enable that one also) Now click ok and save everything.
