- sp332 15y agoIt works fairly well (a bit slow) on Win7. Have you followed these instructions? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2995010 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2995010
- robgough 15y agoYup, worked for me. Have you ticked all the relevant options in the VM Settings? First stop in the System menu. Start with the Motherboard sub-menu and check Enable IO APIC to improve performance for your virtual machine. In the Processor sub-menu check Enable PAE/NX (again, to boost performance). Finally under the Acceleration sub-menu make sure both of the hardware virtualization boxes are checked—VT-x/AMD-V and Nested Paging, respectively. - Taken from http://www.howtogeek.com/74515/how-to-test-drive-windows-8-in-virtualbox/ http://www.howtogeek.com/74515/how-to-test-drive-windows-8-i... (which I know is a Windows guide, but check the same settings in OS X)
