Installing Guest Additions

You can install VirtualBox additions to provide enhanced interaction with, and control over, the VM environment.

To install VirtualBox guest additions

1. From the menu bar in the VM, select Devices > Install Guest Additions.
2. This loads a virtual CD into the VM that has extra software designed to make the VM run quickly and smoothly. If the CD does not auto-run, browse the CD drive in the VM and execute one of the following:
• VBoxWindowsAdditions-x86.exe: 32-bit Windows VM.
• VBoxWindowsAdditions-amd64.exe: 64-bit Windows VM.
2. Follow the directions in the Guest Additions Wizard, then reboot the VM.
3. Log in to the VM.
