    Anybody trying to run Windows 10 under VBox? What's the minimum RAM to allocate for decent performance?

    Not knowing VBox but some understanding of W10 I would recommend a minimum
    of 8Gb but for any kind of performance you might want to increase that by
    4Gb to max of 16Gb and see what happens. Object is to reduce to a minimum
    any paging.

    I am running Windows 10 under VBox on Mint 20.04, allocating 4GB out of my total of 8GB.

    It is like pulling teeth. It is grinding low. Right now though I wouldn't be without it.

    If asked, I will explain.
