Can you describe the precise issues you are having including any error messages? Thisgreat deal.

Do you have VT-x enabled in your BIOS? Not in VirtualBox - on your host...

I assume you mean the CD/DVD to install right? You can do this by going to settings then storage and browsing for an ISO file. Much easier than burning your ISO to DVD and then using that.

What I meant was that I would rather test drive Win 10 in a virtual environment. Previously I ran it in my computer with other Oss. That was a big mistake as Win 10 likes to shut down at will to update which cannot be turned off. A couple of time it even locked up my other harddrives/partitions (midway when updating I believe). That drove me crazy. Now with Virtualbox, I do not need to shut down my main system at all. I can leave it running 24/7 in the backgroundI assume you mean the CD/DVD to install right?
I have it up and running and installing Chrome now.
I love its "right click on the start button". Cool

May I make a suggestion - rather than mucking around any more with vBox, why nor use VMware Player.

Here are 3 video tutorial I made on how to install and operate it.

Hi there
I'd recommend you use VMWARE PLAYER (rel 6 not the latest rel 7) instead and set the USB compatibility to USB 2.0
W10 works absolutely fine on CENTOS rel 7 (Free version of RHEL 7 Enterprise - supported by RED HAT).
CENTOS 7 takes a wee bit more configuration to get up and running but it's SOLID and as stable as a rock - enterprise class. Don't forget though to add package ntfs-3g to read and write NTFS files - other distros have this out of the box.
Here's screenshot of W10 running under VMware on CENTOS 7 (KDE desktop --3d and hardware acceleration all work too).
Note on LINUX Hosts ensure the kernel headers are the same level as the running kernel (as root run uname -r to get the actual running kernel) otherwise VMware will install OK but will error out when you try to run it.
Usually you need to download something like kernel-desktop, kernel-develop, gcc (and other tools to compile / make / config). It's actually very easy --looks worse than it is - all the major distros have plenty of goole tips on how to install VMware player / VMware workstation with the correct kernel headers.
If you create a VM on an external HDD or a drive that is used on both windows and Linux - then don't forget to add package ntfs-3g on CENTOS 7 --other distros probably have this straight out of the box. This package allows read / write of NTFS disks.
Cheers
