However, Microsoft is currently renewing the expiration dates as they come along. Note: The pre-configured VMs are designed to expire after 90 days. Let us now show you how to download and install these VMs on their respective hypervisors. Windows Subsystem for Linux enabled with Ubuntu installed Įach image for the said hypervisors is nearly 20 GBs in size, therefore, you need to have the available space on your hard drive to install the VM.NET Desktop, Azure, and Windows App SDK for C# workloads enabled Here is a list of the included software and enabled features: Since these VMs are intended purely for development and testing purposes, they come prepacked with a few tools so that you will not have to create a VM from scratch and then install the tools yourself. Below are the details for the respective hypervisor: Microsoft offers different downloadable Virtual machine setup for these hypervisors since each of them require a different format. They are currently offered for the following hypervisors: You can download pre-configured Windows 11 VMs for free and then deploy them using a hypervisor. You can avoid the added cost and legally download VMs that Microsoft is currently providing. But that would require you to purchase a valid Windows license too. If you do not want to install a particular Windows operating system on your machine but still need one, you can just install a Windows VM, which will be running on your original (host) OS.

FWIW the screenshot appears to be only the VM window with an app running, not showing an errors.Īfter doing the above, please report back if the issue happens again, and post a new log file. This will let the VM have USB 2 or 3, which may help the USB mouse work better.Ĭrop your screenshots to the important parts, so the text is readable. Install the Extension Pack on the host Virtualbox. Guest Additions also includes a mouse driver which might clear up the mouse issue. They will allow you to use a larger VM window with better graphics response. With that much RAM requested by the VM, the other host apps might have some trouble if you're running a lot of other host apps at the time you start the VM. ~15GB RAM is OK, but 4GB would be OK too. Increase VM processors to 2 (Windows 10 loves 2 processors but really chokes on only 1).
