RECOMMENDED: Click here to fix Windows errors and optimize system performance Lets start with official Windows 10 system requirements, which are as follows. Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or SoC RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit Hard disk space: 16 GB for 32-bit OS 20 GB for 64-bit OS Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver Display: 800x600 Now, lets create a new Windows 10 machine in VirtualBox and see which settings it will use by default. Click on the File - New Machine to open the new machine wizard. Select Windows 10 (32-bit or 64-bit) and fill in the machine name box. By default, VirtualBox will dedicate 1 GB of RAM for a 32-bit Windows 10 machine, and 2 GB for its 64-bit version. I am using a dynamically expanding virtual disk to save space on my real hard drive. However, using a pre-allocated (fixed size) disk image will speed up your guest OS a little. It fits the official system requirements, so everything should be fine. However, after installing Windows 10 on such a virtual machine, you will face extremely poor performance in the guest OS. It will work slow as hell, making you wait for several minutes for simple action such as opening Settings or File Explorer. Fix Slow Performance of Windows 10 Guest in VirtualBox The secret is in the CPU configuration of the virtual machine. While the official system requirements dont mention CPU cores, it looks like Windows 10 needs at least a dual-core CPU to run smoothly. I recommend you to change the Processor parameter to half of your CPU cores. CPU is 8-core, set this parameter to 4. Also, increasing RAM to 3 GB (3072 MB) allows the OS to work better. It is not really necessary, but its better to make this change if you have enough memory on the host hardware.
