Install Ubuntu On Windows 10 Using VirtualBox

This documentation will show you various steps on how to install Ubuntu on Windows
10 using VirtualBox.

System Requirements
Before downloading and installing Ubuntu on windows 10 using VirtualBox, the following
requirements are essential.
➔ Operating System Version - Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit or 64-bit).
➔ Random Access Memory (RAM) - Minimum 4 GB RAM recommended.
➔ Make sure to enable virtualization in the BIOS
➔ Free Disk Space - Minimum 25 GB free space recommended.
➔ Good Internet Connection to download the VirtualBox and Ubuntu ISO file.

Creating a Virtual Machine


Now, it is time to create a Virtual Machine. Follow the instructions below to proceed.

Step 1: Open VirtualBox and click on the "New" button.


Step 2: Choose a name for your virtual machine with its location. Based on the name
you entered, VirtualBox will try to predict the "Type" and "Version". Otherwise, from the
drop-down menu, select "Linux" as the type and "Ubuntu" as the version and click on
the "Next" button.

Step 3: With the help of the slider, choose the amount of memory (RAM) to be allocated
to the virtual machine. (The recommended memory size is 1024 MB (1 GB). Please
note that this memory will only be used while using a virtual machine).
Step 4: Select "Create a virtual hard disk now" option and click on the "Create" button to
proceed.

Step 5: Choose the "VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image)" option and click "Next".
Step 6: Either of the physical storage type can be selected. Using Dynamically
allocated disk is by default 25 GB recommended.

Step 7: Select the amount of space for your virtual machine and click the "Create"
button. (This will be used for your operating system which is going to be installed, so
give as much space as possible).

Install Ubuntu Using VirtualBox


Now, your virtual machine has been successfully created and it is time to install Ubuntu
on it. Since the latest version of Ubuntu is 20.04 LTS, but I am showing you the
installation of Ubuntu 22.04 on VirtualBox and my aim is to show you the process of
installing Ubuntu. I hope you understand the process and install the latest version of
Ubuntu as you want. Follow the instructions below to proceed.

Step 1: The name of your virtual machine will now appear on the left side of the
VirtualBox Manager. Click on the "Start" button in the toolbar to launch your VM.

Step 2

This time, you have to select your Ubuntu ISO file that you downloaded earlier. Now,
click on the folder icon and then click on the "Add" button. Then, select your Ubuntu ISO
file. Click on the "Start" button to proceed.
Note: If you get the following error,

The native API DLL was not found (C:\WINDOWS\system32\WinHvPlatform.dll)


(VERR_NEM_NOT_AVAILABLE).

VT-x is not available (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX).

To resolve this above error, use the following command in Command Prompt (Admin),
"dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V".

After removing this error, your Ubuntu installation will be ready to start on your
VirtualBox.
Step 3: Now, click on the "Install Ubuntu" button to proceed.
Step 4: Select your desired "keyboard layout" and click on the "Continue" button to
proceed.

Step 5: Use the default option as "Normal Installation" with the "Download updates while
installing Ubuntu" and click on the "Continue" button.
Step 6: Select the default option as the "Erase disk and Install Ubuntu" and “Use LVM
with new Ubuntu Installation” then click on the "Install Now" option to proceed.

Step 7: A warning prompt will appear on the screen and click on the "Continue" button
to ignore this warning.
Step 8: Choose your time zone on the map and click Continue.

Step 9: Now, set your user account here by filling the necessary details and click on the
"Continue" button to proceed.
Step 10: Now, the installation process will begin. Wait for the installation process to
complete.

Step 11: Now, restart your system by clicking on the "Restart Now" option.
Congratulations! you have finished the installation process . Now you can use ubuntu
along with the Windows, without creating a dual boot
