Once VirtualBox Guest Additions are installed, you can see a different set of resolution settings in the Windows 10 guest. Move the mouse pointer over the corner of the VM window, push the left mouse button and change the size of the VM window. The resolution of the user interface of guest Windows 10 is automatically changed.
Now you can maximize the VM window size of the Windows 10 guest. As an alternative, you can press the combination of the VirtualBox Host key and F. You cannot increase the screen resolution in the display options. Only the x resolution is available in these settings.
Open the console in your host machine. Set the necessary resolution with VBoxManage which is a command line configuration tool of VirtualBox. The defined resolution can be less than or equal to the resolution of your physical monitor connected to your physical host machine. In our case, the monitor has the FullHD resolution x If you use Linux or macOS on a host machine, the configuration principle is similar — run VBoxManage with the similar parameters.
When a VM boots, you will see your resolution in the display settings of the macOS guest. There is still only one resolution parameter in the list, but it is x now instead of x seen previously. Things become tricky when the window is on two screens, although this is not very useful use case. The easy way to install the guest additions necessary to alter Virtualbox's default resolution. Here's the steps Logon to the Windows Gues. I noticed when I first installed it, that its screen resolution was x and not x Resolution of Macbook.
I tried to change it in Control Panel in Windows but 'x wasn't there. Once installed, launch VirtualBox and click New.
The New Virtual Machine wizard will open up, click Next. Type the name of the Virtual Machine, we named it Windows 8, select Microsoft Windows as Operating system, and select Windows 7 as version.
Moreover, by using the Guest Additions, you can create an interaction between the host and the guest virtual machine with benefits such as mouse pointer integration, shared folders and clipboard, enhanced video support, time sync and automated logons. Typically, the Guest Additions can be installed from within a virtual machine using the ISO image that comes bundled with it.
The product was designed for VirtualBox Open Source Edition, a special version of the package that contains source code on top of the standard build. With the help of this program, efforts are minimized a whole lot on the end-user part, since it all comes down to a few clicks.
During deployment, the software will install a couple of essential Guest Addition components such as drivers for graphics, mouse and OpenGL, as well as guest system drivers.
The procedure requires a restart in order for the installation to be complete. On the other hand, Oracle announced that starting the forth version of VirtualBox, they will no longer be releasing the Open Source Edition, which is bad news for this little program and the users that rely on it. Not only is VirtualBox an extremely feature rich, high performance product for enterprise customers, it is also the only professional solution that is freely available as Open Source Software under the terms of the GNU General Public License GPL version 2.
