Re: [gentoo-user] Windows 10 Pro 64bit in Virtualbox

2021-05-22 Thread Andrew Udvare
I use with a highly customised image made with NTLite where nearly
everything is removed, especially things like the antimalware, Cortana, etc.

This gives marginal gain in terms of boot up time, and general speed of the
UI (even with all animations disabled). It does however reduce the memory
requirement to about 1-1.5 GiB, which is nicer than average. However, that
barely fits a browser like Chrome or Edge.

I've been trying to perfect a minimal image setup for VirtualBox for a
while. It's taking a long time to test it.

Been running it for a couple of years now. No problems.

Win10 Home/Pro/Edu + VBox Guest Additions works fine.

Beware of Chrome which is notorious for slowing down MSWindows installations 
by scanning for any other software installed on the system.  Once you disable 
this, MSWindows works as expected.  Mind you, there's nothing wrong with Win7.  
I would think it runs faster compared to Win10, on the same host.

No problems so far - except that it's not very fast (which
means "pretty slow").  I'm still investigating some speed
improvements, but it seems to be a common problem with lots
of hints (which, unfortunately, don't really help).

[gentoo-user] Windows 10 Pro 64bit in Virtualbox

2021-05-22 Thread thelma
Is anybody running Windows 10 Pro 64bit in Virtualbox?
Is it stable?
Is it easy to resize? 

Currently I'm still using Windows 7 Pro and it starts much faster then Windows 
10 pro 32bit 
But Windows 7 is no longer supported and eventually I'll have to select Windows 
10 Pro 32bit or 64bit to run my programs.
