Yeah I typically always use custom images based on the LTSC version, hence why I was like WTF!? It is ridiculous that the average person gets that much crap on a direct from Microsoft ISO image.
tl;dr; You can use also Virtual Machines in your job, if you know enough about linux and a bit of networking. I have installed 4 VMs on my Ubutu working laptop. Instead of VirtualBox, I use qemu with KVM. One environment has a working TIA Portal installation. I use the other VMs are for CAE and Robot programmig software. Additionally one VM with just garbage and Java-Plugin installed, to program this very old vision system from Siemens. If you have enough cores and enough RAM, you can run 2 VM in background without much performance issues. To speed up the boot time, a ssd should be used. Sometimes I worked with 3 VMs at the same time (CAE, PLC programming, robot programming). EDIT: 2x Windows 7, 2x Windows 10
I use the same virtualization now that I'm running Arch but in the past I used more "pro" software dedicated for VDI etc. like Proxmox or Nutanix, the good about QEMU/KVM is that at least it's free and combined with Libvirt and Virt-Manager it's very easy to setup a VM on it, I made a video about it on my channel if someone of you reading this comment is interested :)

I am experimenting with Linux for some time already. I am a Windows sysAdmin. I always used VMWare Workstation on my home PC to virtualize my experiments. Since I like Mint, I installed Virtualbox and tried W10 installation. I was so frustrated. My Virtualbox W10 machine was freezing randomly. After some duckduckgoogling I have found, that I need to switch the acceleration from Default to KVM. Since that was done - all ok. Now the questions: Why Virtualbox was freezing with the default setting. And, why it did not select the proper acceleration, when I told it, that I'm gonna install W10 guest. You did not change the mode to KVM. Does the installation of W10 guest work ok for you? And if yes, why I had to switch to the KVM mode to make it usable?

Hey Chris should do a write up on setting up a PCI-E device passthrough based win10 VM, having GPU accelerated graphics will allow people to use Linux day to day without dual booting and still run the pesky things on windows they can't elsewhere with full GPU power (Of the GPU you assign) There is even tricks to allow Linux to swap between say a onboard when the VM is on and the dedicated GPU when it is off! Also easier to do in Arch/Manjaro AFAIK!

I love your videos, Chris. This weekend I install Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.2 and experiencing my First 7 days Challenge. I have one Windows program I really need. So I installed Virtualbox 5.2.32 (from the software manager, dkms, ext-pack and guest-additions) and setup Windows Tiny 7 (5 minute installation). As there are several packages it is a pity you don't mention what to install. Everything seems to work well. However, I can't connect to a USB device (yellow exclamation mark) and don't have internet access within Virtualbox. So, I don't know how to update the USB drivers and install the Windows application. Did I miss anything in the installation? Any one having a suggestion?
Hey Chris. I finally decide to switch to Linux. I installed Linux Mint 19.2. Apart from a minor power off problem everythings seems to work fine.

Sir.. Im very much concerned about the space..... (50 Gigs) OMG.... :o :o .... i CANT SPARE THAT IN MY PC. IM low on space... eventhough i love to use win10 in virtual box.. for testing purposes... is there any way to lower the installation space????????
thank you for the pointers. but i'm a redhat fan and you mentioned qemu so i might use that but i need a machine with power and more than 4gb but i run fedora with xfce on less than 1/2 GB so it might be possible to qemu win10. idk but thank you.
I installed window 10 on virtualbox successfully, but whenever I'm on, disk usage is between 95 to 100 percent. Does anyone know possible fixes for this?
That would most likely be do to either over heating or application errors most likely. I have had that before with other programs, closing them through the cli in safe mode with thier pid numbers and uninstalling them and reinstall them fixed it.
will i be able to edit videos on davinci resolves on virtualbox windows and play games?because if so,im installing linux and install virtualbox,if the performance on virtualbox running games and editing videos is bad,ill stick to windows.
Davinci Resolve is hungry for RAM, CPU cores and vram. I personally run it in Windows on a separate SSD that I boot into. You could try it in a virtual box but you are going to need a really good computer. I'm going to try it though
Davinci Resolve is also for Linux, isn't it? I think with a good multicore processor, and 32 gb RAM to provide 16 gb to Virtual Machine en should be enough.
You could, but you probably shouldn't, especially if your i3 has only 2 cores and 4 threads. 4GB of RAM is also not enough to get a decent expensive in Windows 10 after the overhead where you leave about 2 GB for the host (Ubuntu). If you need Windows and Wine isn't an option XP is likely to be your best bet.
Chris Chris Chris, Virtualbox??????? That's old school and its glacially slow. For a geek techie like you, you need to do GPU/PCIe pass-through with KVM and Qemu and install Windows as guest
@@ChrisTitusTech hey, Chris, I'm just getting back in to all of this tech stuff. Can you shoot me a link to that video, please? I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance. 🙏🏻
@@ChrisTitusTech I'd really like to go back to Linux, full time. But, I use several programs, ie, video editing, photo editing, music production suites that are said to not play well with wine. And I'm wondering if running win 10 in a vmachine would work, with say, photoshop or native instruments/cakewalk. As well as ubot studio. Speaking of... Do you have any videos on how to patch win progs to work with wine or POL? Otherwise, I may try running a win usb install on a USB 3.0 and see how that works. Such a pain in the ass. Lol.
Go to Microsoft official website and download. It's free. You'll just get a watermark on bottom right saying "Activate Windows", and you'll get a blank wallpaper and you cant customize your wallpaper / colors. But you can continue to play games , use ADobe / whatever for free, forever. But at some point you'd be fed up of seeing the Activate Windows watermark and want to buy WIndows. Quick tip, you dont need to spend 200$. You can get it for much cheaper ( like 10$) on certain websites. It's not 100% legal, it's like a pirated key, but it works, until you change your motherboard.
i have linux mint and the package manager had the outdated VirtualBox :/ figuring out which one i needed to download took me about 40min and i ended up going with the ubuntu version lol. so far everything seems to work ok
Anyone else have Debian 10 and have one package type work better than another for VirtualBox? In the past, I've noticed major improvements using one type (ex: AppIamge, .deb file, flatpak) and it differs on what program I am downloading,
Chris I like your video's, but (there's always a but!) you need to read the manual for your new camera! Both your clock and the message board are so out of focus, it makes my eyes hurt :( I watch stacks of tech video's and they all have the presenter and background in focus. Please take a few minutes and read the manual.
Haha, yeah I actually worked hard for that. By default using a 15 MM lens and a 3.5 F/Stop everything would be in focus. I'll increase the aperture a bit to increase the depth of field, but I don't want to do too much as I like to shoot in low light. When I adjust the F/Stop up, the picture will get a bit more grainy because the ISO is adjusted to compensate. When you get into the higher end DSLRs, it's not as easy as "reading the manual" and there is a lot of thought that actually goes into the frame. It is a deep, deep hole one can go down to understand many of these settings not coming from a photography / videography background. The camera isn't like an iPhone or a point and shoot. I paid a couple hundred bucks more for a 22MM 2.0 F/Stop lens to achieve greater clarity and a shallow depth of field, so this was an actual design decision.
Fair enough, I know nothing about camera's, I don't even take many pics with my phone :) I use the phone for shoving ROMS on. TBH I like the way you have it framed, and the colour is miles better. It's the noticeboard that gets me, I only know what it says because I've seen it before, but if you put a new message on there, I'm not sure I could read it. I usually watch on a TV, but just checked with my laptop and I still can't read it. I don't expect you to do anything you don't want to, I mean it's your channel after all. But even though you edit it all, I wasn't sure if you realised how it comes over to your users, Not sure I would with the amount of video's you put out. It's not annoying enough yet, to stop watching. I want to see people do what they want on their channel, and not what the watchers want. So I did think hard before I wrote this, I definitely don't want you to take offence over it.
@@try-that Thanks, I had no idea prior to starting TH-cam about this either. I figured out pretty fast why movies cost millions to make though. There is a TON of technical information in how shots are composed and getting a good video. I'm going to tinker more with the settings and try to bring a bit more depth of field without hopefully sacrificing too much detail.

It's a Simple Monitor widget, u can get it on any KDE instance, it's not installed by default but it's easy to get one.
I have Linux Mint MATE. Just loaded it in the last couple days. Trying to build a virtual WIndows machine. I have tried downloading Etcher. I have tried downloading Appimage. I have Virtual Box all set. Just need the Windows ISO. Any help will be appreciated. :)
When i try to download guest tools i get an error "the network operation failed :unknown reason"
for some reason the last iso of windows just make a error on VirtualBox and i try and try but just error later in VMware just work and i was like wtf??
Its very very strange. They changed something, but I can't figure out what. KVM/QEMU and Gnome Boxes all seem to be effected.
Yeah what the heck is microsoft changing?
I had to enable uefi support for windows 10 to work in virtual box.
@@droid8613 the thing is it work but woth a previus iso meaby it wa a day one error for that iso but later get patch it but was late becuse i move on to vmware
That was why it was failing on all 3! Thank you @droid8613 this was driving me crazy and I recently switched over to UEFI from Legacy.
So this way I can have Windows on a Chromebook?
Where do you get the install "disk" from? Doesn't it have those key things anymore?
@@AlucardNoir
what that they say these days
when something is "free" you're the product
I download the official Windows 10 ISO from (www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO) then I unpack the ISO and modify the wim file and repack it for the best possible image. I need to redo my 1809 image, because there was a ton of junk on it.
@@ChrisTitusTech "Page is no longer available"
when I click on start "The installed support driver does not match the user's version" what should I do?
same
Thnx dude it's working ?
Nice video
I spent three days trying to get Spark Gameover working. Would not install via my live USG, there forums and articles discussing this. So I had to use live USB to burn DVD and install went off with a hitch.
Sir.. Im very much concerned about the space..... (50 Gigs) OMG.... :o :o .... i CANT SPARE THAT IN MY PC. IM low on space... eventhough i love to use win10 in virtual box.. for testing purposes... is there any way to lower the installation space????????
Does anyone know why someone would not have the option Hardware Virtualization AMD-V @ 4:45?
Do i need windows 10 keys?
Any prerequisites to follow along?
Fatal: no bootable medium found! system halted.
help?
thank you for the pointers. but i'm a redhat fan and you mentioned qemu so i might use that but i need a machine with power and more than 4gb but i run fedora with xfce on less than 1/2 GB so it might be possible to qemu win10. idk but thank you.
I installed window 10 on virtualbox successfully, but whenever I'm on, disk usage is between 95 to 100 percent. Does anyone know possible fixes for this?
That would most likely be do to either over heating or application errors most likely. I have had that before with other programs, closing them through the cli in safe mode with thier pid numbers and uninstalling them and reinstall them fixed it.
will i be able to edit videos on davinci resolves on virtualbox windows and play games?because if so,im installing linux and install virtualbox,if the performance on virtualbox running games and editing videos is bad,ill stick to windows.
Davinci Resolve is hungry for RAM, CPU cores and vram. I personally run it in Windows on a separate SSD that I boot into. You could try it in a virtual box but you are going to need a really good computer. I'm going to try it though
Davinci Resolve is also for Linux, isn't it? I think with a good multicore processor, and 32 gb RAM to provide 16 gb to Virtual Machine en should be enough.
Am I gonna be able to play videogames with this boot?
Video Graphics driver are not added in it. How to add them
Could I install Windows 10 on virtualbox at i3 4gb ram ubuntu 18.04?
You could, but you probably shouldn't, especially if your i3 has only 2 cores and 4 threads. 4GB of RAM is also not enough to get a decent expensive in Windows 10 after the overhead where you leave about 2 GB for the host (Ubuntu). If you need Windows and Wine isn't an option XP is likely to be your best bet.
Chris Chris Chris, Virtualbox??????? That's old school and its glacially slow. For a geek techie like you, you need to do GPU/PCIe pass-through with KVM and Qemu and install Windows as guest
Hehe already made that video minus the GPU pass through. I need a second GPU.
@@ChrisTitusTech hey, Chris, I'm just getting back in to all of this tech stuff. Can you shoot me a link to that video, please? I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance. 🙏🏻
@@ChrisTitusTech I'd really like to go back to Linux, full time. But, I use several programs, ie, video editing, photo editing, music production suites that are said to not play well with wine. And I'm wondering if running win 10 in a vmachine would work, with say, photoshop or native instruments/cakewalk. As well as ubot studio.
Speaking of... Do you have any videos on how to patch win progs to work with wine or POL?
Otherwise, I may try running a win usb install on a USB 3.0 and see how that works. Such a pain in the ass. Lol.
thank you
how did you get the windows 10 os i dont want to pay $200 dollars
Go to Microsoft official website and download. It's free. You'll just get a watermark on bottom right saying "Activate Windows", and you'll get a blank wallpaper and you cant customize your wallpaper / colors. But you can continue to play games , use ADobe / whatever for free, forever. But at some point you'd be fed up of seeing the Activate Windows watermark and want to buy WIndows.
Quick tip, you dont need to spend 200$. You can get it for much cheaper ( like 10$) on certain websites. It's not 100% legal, it's like a pirated key, but it works, until you change your motherboard.
Please, my Windows 11 background of transparent. How do I fix it?
How many MB/Gigs of shitware is in there? Oh and, is that a Conky in the panel on the lower right?
i have linux mint and the package manager had the outdated VirtualBox :/ figuring out which one i needed to download took me about 40min and i ended up going with the ubuntu version lol. so far everything seems to work ok
I am installing bcz of adobe. Let's see how does it perform
How was your experience? Is Virtual Machine enough for windows?
Can I game on VM ?
Anyone else have Debian 10 and have one package type work better than another for VirtualBox? In the past, I've noticed major improvements using one type (ex: AppIamge, .deb file, flatpak) and it differs on what program I am downloading,
No, Windows 10 is harder to set up than Arch linux.
Chris I like your video's, but (there's always a but!) you need to read the manual for your new camera! Both your clock and the message board are so out of focus, it makes my eyes hurt :( I watch stacks of tech video's and they all have the presenter and background in focus. Please take a few minutes and read the manual.
Haha, yeah I actually worked hard for that. By default using a 15 MM lens and a 3.5 F/Stop everything would be in focus. I'll increase the aperture a bit to increase the depth of field, but I don't want to do too much as I like to shoot in low light. When I adjust the F/Stop up, the picture will get a bit more grainy because the ISO is adjusted to compensate. When you get into the higher end DSLRs, it's not as easy as "reading the manual" and there is a lot of thought that actually goes into the frame. It is a deep, deep hole one can go down to understand many of these settings not coming from a photography / videography background. The camera isn't like an iPhone or a point and shoot. I paid a couple hundred bucks more for a 22MM 2.0 F/Stop lens to achieve greater clarity and a shallow depth of field, so this was an actual design decision.
Fair enough, I know nothing about camera's, I don't even take many pics with my phone :) I use the phone for shoving ROMS on. TBH I like the way you have it framed, and the colour is miles better. It's the noticeboard that gets me, I only know what it says because I've seen it before, but if you put a new message on there, I'm not sure I could read it. I usually watch on a TV, but just checked with my laptop and I still can't read it. I don't expect you to do anything you don't want to, I mean it's your channel after all. But even though you edit it all, I wasn't sure if you realised how it comes over to your users, Not sure I would with the amount of video's you put out. It's not annoying enough yet, to stop watching. I want to see people do what they want on their channel, and not what the watchers want. So I did think hard before I wrote this, I definitely don't want you to take offence over it.
@@try-that Thanks, I had no idea prior to starting TH-cam about this either. I figured out pretty fast why movies cost millions to make though. There is a TON of technical information in how shots are composed and getting a good video. I'm going to tinker more with the settings and try to bring a bit more depth of field without hopefully sacrificing too much detail.
thanks, but where can I get the window 10 iso file for free? My machine is Linux.
U Can get it on the microsoft website
when i create one it says i need a kernel driver
What are the side effects of using a virtual box or virtual windows?
i know in the next 5 years an alein will come and tell us that was to be NEVER TO BE used as a main os rather a vm
what the hell is vt-d and IOmmu?
where the f did you get the iso file
Vbox never worked well for me. VMware is much better.
VMware workstation is excellent and I agree it works the best "out of the box"
Where would QEMU/KVM fit in comparison to VMware & Vbox ?
@@rwbimbie5854 I also want to know this
@@rwbimbie5854 Having tested the 3, if configured correctly:
QEMU/KVM with PCI-passthrough GPU (VFIO) > VMWare with virtual GPU > QEMU/KVM > VMWare > VirtualBox
(Keep in mind though, technical expertise required for each setup is proportional)
Thanx for the scale. I had good results with QEMU & GpuPassthru for mining vm's, but havent tried others
(besides some DosBox a while back for classic games)
you don't Pronounce the G in Gnome lol
bro ur moving a little too fast and not explaining alternative options... sorry could get it on the first try
I only have 2 cores, I have two give it only 1
Wow. TH-cam actually let me see a white americans tech video. They pump these foreigners to the top of the list constantly. I'm only here by accident this time.
Please
watched maybe 10 mumbling barely english instructions before yours. im just going to check your account if i have any other questions 🤷🏽♂️
jeez just get into the video and quit talking 😳
