![]() The Ubuntu system will start to boot and land on the Welcome screen, here you just need to select your language and click the “Install Ubuntu” button. With the Synology NAS selected, hit the “Apply” button.Ĭlick the “Connect” button up top to open the Virtual Machine in a new Browser Tab. ![]() Start up the Virtual Machine by clicking on the “Action” button up top and choose “Power On”. You will get confirmation of our settings so just click “Apply”. Now you will be able to select the accounts you want to have permission to use this virtual machine and click “Next”. 25GB is the recommended amount of space required so to be safe, choose something around 30GB and click the blue “Next” button. You can skip the next two settings, under “Virtual Disk” you will need to allocate space for the Virtual Machine. Under “ISO file for bootup” you need to choose the “System Image” you created before. Now you can choose how much RAM you want your Virtual Machine to have, it is reccomended that you allocate at least 2GB of RAM. NOTE: It’s recommended to choose a minimum of 2 CPU cores for a Virtual Machine to run effectively. The first thing we want to do is give it a Name, any name you want, next in line is the amount of CPU cores we want to use. Now we can configure all the specs for our Virtual Machine. The creation method we will be using is the ISO File method, choose that one and click “Next”. And after a short wait, our system image will be created.īack on the Diskstation interface inside the Virtual Machine Manager package, choose “Virtual Machine” down the left side.Īcross the top, click on the “Create” button and choose “Create”. Now choose where you downloaded the Ubuntu image to and click “Browse”, select the image with the blue “Select” button once you’ve located it and then click “Next”, now place a tick next to the “Your NAS” and click on the blue “Apply” button. Under “Name” you can select the System Image’s name. Set up the Ubuntu ISO Image by selecting “System Image” down the left hand side. Clicking “Next” again will produce a message in regards to isolating network interfaces through different subnets, click on yes and after the warning appears, click “Yes” again, after that it should only take around 30 seconds or so to come back with a big green tick, after it does, click on the “Finish” button. Click “Next” and put a check beside the BTRFS volume you want to use, after clicking “Next”, you will need to select the secondary LAN connection. But this way, you can use Windows-specific software and programs inside Linux without needing to install Windows fully.On the first launch, you will be presented with a wizard which will be telling the package where we want to store the Virtual Machines we create. Unlike regular applications, it will consume lots of RAM. The bottom line is that with virtual machine software, you can use Windows like an application inside Linux. These are called virtual machines because they’re basically emulating other operating systems, but they’re not really interacting with the computer system like a true operating system would. With a virtual machine, you can run an operating system like an application inside your current operating system. VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software from Oracle for creating virtual machines. What is VirtualBox and what are its advantages? In an earlier tutorial, I showed you how to install VMWare on Ubuntu, but in this one, we’ll be using Oracle VirtualBox to create virtual machines and installing Windows 10 on them. If, like me, you’re an infrequent user of Windows and don’t want to trouble yourself with dual booting Ubuntu and Windows 10, I suggest installing Windows 10 inside Linux by creating a virtual machine. It works well except that you have to switch between the operating systems by restarting the system. One way to use the two systems together is to dual boot Windows and Linux. I regularly encourage people to use Linux, and when I give them reasons to switch, I always mention that they can use Windows and Linux together if they’re ‘scared of Linux’. This detailed beginner’s guide shows you how to install Windows 10 in VirtualBox on Linux.
