Step 1: Download the Windows OS edition which you want to install, and VirtualBox (Windows Host). Next, install VirtualBox on your computer and open the application.

Step 2: Click on “New” from the Toolbar, and you will see the Virtual machine creation wizard. Click Next.

Step 3: Enter a name for your VM then select the OS type. For Windows 32-bit, select “Windows” and for Windows 64-bit edition select Windows (64-bit) from the drop down menu.

Step 4: Adjust the Memory (RAM) you want to allocate for your VM.

Step 5: Now we need to create the Virtual Hard drive. Leave the default option as shown in the below screenshot and click Next.

Step 6: Select the type of Virtual hard drive you want to create. I have selected VHD (Virtual hard drive).

Step 7: Next, select the storage allocation for the VHD as “Dynamically Allocate”.

Step 8: In the next step you can allocate the size of your VHD. The recommended size is 20GB.

Step 9: Finally you will see the summary of the configuration. Click Create to proceed.

Step 10: Now you can see your Virtual Machine configuration in the Virtual Box Manager. Select your VM and click on Start from the toolbar.

Step 11: You’ll see an Information message. Click OK to proceed.
