Yes nice little guide Britec, handy way of running Windows 8 inside a VM to play with it. If you really miss the start menu check this out the classic shell project on sourceforge.
A great video, so it was true that you needed virtualization enabled in the BIOS, the only thing I saw close to virtualization in my BIOS was "secure virtual machine mode" but it was disabled by default. I'm guessing I need to enable SVMM in order to stop getting problems when I try and install it.
There is a developer page you can download the iso file on. (you don't have to be a developer to download, all you need is a Microsoft account!) the only problem is that it will not run properly on Virtual Box.
answer for umar farooq: u can get d orignal iso by goin to google type windows 8, clik windows 8 download release preview (on d microsoft website) den scroll down clik the 32bit version ( the activation key will be under it)
YOu Have to Activate the VIrtualization option in your BIOS When Windows starts up, Press escape, F2 or delete to enter the BIOS, then on advanced setting, there you'll find an option to enable that :)
good emulator that virtual box, years ago i tryed the virtual pc software before microsoft bought it out, some times you cant tell its not the real thing :-) Thanks brian :-)
Hello. I cannot open the Windows 8 consumer preview file that I downloaded (on Virtualbox). It gives me an error.
11 років тому
great video but i have little problem... im not sure why is that happening i want to show my friend how to install an operating system but i already installed the windows 8 and i want to show my friend the windows 8 installation and its not working on virtual box it says some kind of error... like "VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Certain guests (e.g. OS/2 and QNX) require this feature and will fail to boot without it."
you don't need a Microsoft account. When it gets to the point were it asks for a email address and password enter your email address and custom password then it will say not a Microsoft account, would you like to set up a local account.
@Britec09 i followed the video correctly but i get a error still i dont know why but i tried the installation twice now my drive space has 50 gigs taken up that i need and i tried unistalling the program and the space is still there please help
when i start windows 8 in virtualbox it says that my PC needs to be repaired and that i do not have a 64-bit processor, even though i have a 64-bit processor. ANYONE please help!
When trying to install Virtualbox, it warns me about disconnecting me from the network ant all that stuff. Will it RESET your internet configuration etc. so you would have to go through all that pain of configurating them again?
im on win xp i download the iso and it says 6 hours remaining and it boosts the time up longer and then freezes?!!!??!? how do i get win 8 on virtual box on a laptop slow as fuck do i upgrade to win 7 or vista!?!!!?
Hey there! I have a problem: I cant go to acceleration because its locked and every time i want to boot i says: ,,Your PC needs to restart. Please hold down the power button. Error Code: 0x000005D Parameters: 0x03062A07 0x756E6547 0x49656E69 0xC65746E " Specs: 6gb of RAM Intel Core i5 2450M Radeon HD 7450M Someone Please Help me!
Took me an hour to create a vdi of 450 gigs, but for 25 gig 1 min? , i consider my pc fast enough to create it in a few minutes, maybe i am doing something wrong.
Thanks for the kind words and support.
Thanks Mike, glad you got it sorted and now you can enjoy Windows 8 in VirtualBox.

Thanks! This helped A LOT. I am now enjoying Windows 8 on VirtualBox!
On what machine? I have more than one Computer.
Excellent video, Brian, others similar had me running around in circles. Thanks!
Yeah its a good bit of kit.

I know this was 6 years ago, but that's what you need to enable just so you know.
I installed it but it won't boot??? Then i restated it and it said it failed to start??
Awesome! Thanks for this, I'm download the ISO now!
As always and informative and interesting video - Thx Brian.
Finally you Upgraded!
Thanks, man! This was a very helpful video. Greatly appreciate it!

Great video !!, you are the best . Keep up the good work
Thank you so much, this video was very helpful!
Camtasia Studio
@ Britec09 Which video editor do you use
great video ,Brian :)
Yeah your need VT to install Windows 8
I'm still confused about one thing about Virtualization. Do you need a processor that can support it or can any computer do it?
YOu Have to Activate the VIrtualization option in your BIOS
When Windows starts up, Press escape, F2 or delete to enter the BIOS, then on advanced setting, there you'll find an option to enable that :)
Do you need install the graphic cards drivers ?
+Nima Abbasi No the virtualbox copies every driver on YOUR computer and installs into itself.
Thanks so much bro, your amazing!

I'd love to try Windows 8, but my processor doesn't support virtualization technology (According to CPU-Z) :(
