Installing Windows 11 on VirtualBox

Installing Windows 11 on VirtualBox

Continuing with the previous article, this time I will try the Windows 11 app. Previously, the PC specifications I used were MB Gigabyte H61, Core i7 2600Ghz Processor, 2x 8GB VGEN RAM, 2 HDDs 4TB + 3TB and VGA HIS R7 240 iCooler 2GB GDDR5. Hopefully in the future we can upgrade our PC to be more robust, hehehe.

Here’s how :

  1. Click New and fill in according to your needs then Next.

Note: don’t forget to check the Skip Unattended Installation checklist to avoid filling in the fields during the installation process.

 

 

  1. On Hardware, I set the Base Memory to 8GB and then Next.

  1. For Virtual Disk, I set it to 80GB and then Next.

  1. Berikut hasil Summary, klik Finish.

  1. VirtualBox is ready to use but before I click Start, there is an item that I will change first, click Settings – Expert – Network, uncheck Cable Connected – OK (to prevent the creation of an online login account).

  1. Click Start and the process will run, click Next.

 

 

  1. Click Install Now and select the desired version of Windows and then Next.

 

 

  1. Check the I accept …. and click Next.

  1. Select Custom.

  1. For partitions there is only 1, so immediately click Next and wait for it to finish.

 

 

  1. Here’s what it looks like after a restart, select the appropriate country and then Yes.

  1. Select keyboard input and Yes and if you are not using an additional keyboard, select Skip.

  1. Select I don’t have internet because indeed the condition of the LAN cable is not installed as informed in step 5 above.

  1. Fill in the name then Next and the password then Next

  1. In my privacy I set it to No then Next and wait for it to finish.

 

 

  1. Go back to step 5 and check the Cable Connected – OK, then the network icon has changed.

  1. Here are the specifications and info from Device Manager.

The installation process is honestly a bit long, about 15-20 minutes because at the time of the experiment I was using HDD Regenerator to repair the HDD, hehehe. If there is a fortune, I will use NVME entirely  so that the process can be faster.

Thanks.

 

VirtualBox Installation

VirtualBox Installation

VirtualBox, is not a new application for me. Since becoming a computer technician, I’ve been using it to try out job-supporting apps. The PC I use is still there today, using an Asus P5P43TD MB, VGA ATI Radeon 2GB (I forgot the type), 4x4GB GB of VGEN RAM and 2x 2TB Seagate HDD.

And until now, October 2024 I used it again. If I check on an old PC, the application I used at that time was VirtualBox-4.3.6-91406-Win which I downloaded on December 20, 2013 and is currently the version VirtualBox-7.1.2-164945-Win.

For the application, you can download here with a size of about 105MB, and the installation process is quite easy, just click Next 3x – Yes 2x – Next – Install – Finish as shown in the following image (maybe a little difference if there will be an update in the latest version):

 

 

Here is the initial appearance, there are 2 modes, Basic and Expert.

But before I will change the default configuration by clicking Preferences or (Ctrl+G) on the keyboard, in the General Default Machine Folder section, I will change the location of the storage place, because the default is C drive, it will be quite troublesome if later I have to  reinstall Windows, of course it will move the VM , so in this case I immediately moved it to D drive​.

Ok, maybe that’s all the article, for the experiment I will make in another article, thank you and have a nice day.
