hey guys 16 you as a tutorial showing you how to install windows 8 and in VirtualBox this is probably going to be the best method for installing windows as instead of having to you know dual boot or you know find an old computer or you have to deal with partitions and all that kind of stuff if you just simply install it in VirtualBox very simply very easily without any major fuss so to do this you're going to need a couple things first is going to be the VirtualBox software this is entirely free and you can download it from the link in the description of this video on top of that you also need the ISO now there are two different rule actually there are three different versions there's a 32 64 bit if there's a 32 bit 64 bit as well as a 64 bit with developer tools download whatever one you want i will be using 64-bit for this tutorial and just download it again both links will be in the description so once you have everything you need go ahead and open up VirtualBox and click new you see here it says the new virtual machine window wizard click Next now here we need to connect our operating system so what we're going to do is tell it that we have Windows 7 so if you have Windows 7 32 bit just click that or 64 bit like me you click 64 bit alright so now we need a name so we'll just put Windows it doesn't really matter too much there next is a ram now basically the more ram you can afford the better so for example i have 8 gigabytes of ram so i can just go ahead and a lot for gigs to this now that's not actually going to like take a four gig block out of your ram or anything but what it will do is that's the maximum it can take so if you have 4 gigs in your consistent you probably won't go like 2 or whatever but that's entirely up to you i next is to go ahead and create a boot hard disk so just click create new hard disk if there's not I checked and click Next you're going to need to create the disk itself this is really simple you can just click VDI again just now just hit next to punch and then you have two options dynamically allocated and fixed size dynamically allocated which just basically creates a file on your hard drive that pretends that it's a hard drive you can do that but in it'll change the size if you need more but I like to do fixed size just because it seems to be a little bit more stable so you can certainly do that and you just decide how big you want and the minimum is pretty much going to be 20 gigs but I recommend doing something more like 30 or so you have some more space 40 or something like that now this point I need to do is hit the create button it will take a little while so maybe take 5 10 minutes whatever to create your virtual machine I've already done this so we'll just skip on to it and we have Windows 8 let's go ahead and double-click it and we have the first run wizard so we'll click Next and find our installation media so as you guys so you just hit this little green arrow thing and select that ISO that we downloaded hit open and click Next so says you know selected to make sure that it is the proper thing which it is click start so at this point is gonna go ahead and start booting up figuring out everything you guys gonna see here it is working so it's gonna take a little while to get the files loaded in there we go so we have the windows developer preview alright so once you get to this screen it's super easy just make sure that the language and everything is correct click Next rather click Next again click Install Now and from here it will take a little while obviously you're installing Windows it's you know three or four gigabytes or however big it is so what you need to do is just be patient here allow it to fully run through I will go ahead and show you the license terms and all that kind of stuff and again let's click on that click Next now instead of upgrading we go ahead and install a new and since we only have the one disk just click on that hit next and it'll take again just one minute and now it's going to be copying all our files so at this point you can safely go away from the computer go sit and chill and you know it could take a little while so just God you know it's chill for a little bit and I'll be right back as soon as it's done alright so once it's done installing everything we just need to do one quick step enable for it to boot so we need to go ahead and right-click our windows 8 or whatever you decide to name your virtual machine and click settings and then what you need to do once it loads you need to come down to storage and you'll see this it's going to be the yes this one it's going to be the windows developer preview what you need to do is come over to this and remove it so we're going to go ahead and remove that click ok and we're going to open up our virtual machine once again alright so once it's done loading you will see a screen just like this so yeah I'm sure you guys can handle it by yourself oh go ahead and walk you guys through it show you exactly what the first boot is like so we need to create a name so just create I'll say Austin click Next oops and click Next and this is of course the first look that we've had at me Metro UI which I think it looks really quite nice anyway guys we are now officially in Windows 8 so after a little bit of setup and whatnot we are gonna be good to go you can see here the interface is working just fine we can click over you're come back to our desktop and come back over to the interface here scroll through and all that kind of stuff so guys it's gonna be about it for this video if you guys enjoyed definitely be sure to leave a thumbs up and if you're interested in more Windows 8 videos be sure to subscribe
