LInux VirtualBox running Windows VM

You can download Windows VM from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/.

After importing OVA, to run it, you need to change Display settings to be:

  • Graphics Controller: VBoxVGA
  • Disable Enable 3D Acceleration

Otherwise you'll enter a boot-loop.

Maybe this is just a NixOS thing.

The VM will expire eventually you'll need to redownload a new machine each time.
