<p dir="ltr">In the past VBox's GuestAdditions plugin for file sharing between host and guest systems has had latency issues and even file corruption when the shared folders had a lot of files to manage. Is this still a problem in VBox. I don't recall this issue in QUEMC, though admittedly it has been a while since I have used the later.</p>

I've replaced almost all of them with Linux. I do have a need for Windows on occasion. I do have VirtualBox configured on my desktop and laptop. I'd like to install Windows in a guest on VirtualBox. Can I use the OEM copy or do I need to find an image some place on the net?<br>

Thank you in advance.<span><br>

Use virtualbox with "seamless" mode, all the windoze apps run windowed to be less annoying overall, and you can hide the disgrace<br>
mostly of still using it. :)<br>
