How to Set Up Ubuntu VirtualBox Image on Windows 10 (64-bit)

Setting up a virtual machine with Ubuntu on your Windows 10 (64-bit) machine is a straightforward process that requires some basic steps. Before you begin, make sure your system meets the minimum requirements of at least 3 GB of RAM.

To start, launch VirtualBox and click on the 'New' button to create a new machine. Choose Linux as the Operating System and Ubuntu (64-bit) as the version. Name your virtual machine 'QIIME'.

Once you've created the machine, you can customize its settings by right-clicking on the desktop, selecting 'Personalize,' then 'Appearance,' and disabling transparency effects if necessary.

To optimize performance, you may want to increase the resolution of your VirtualBox. To do this, click on the Display icon at the bottom-right corner of the VirtualBox window and select 'Virtual Screen 1' -> 'Resize to 1440x900'.

For easy file transfer, we recommend using a shared folder in Linux for your VirtualBox downloads. To set up the shared folder, run the setup by double-clicking on the VBoxWindowsAdditions executable file.

After installation, you should be able to set a shared folder, enable bi-directional drag-and-drop functionality, and set the clipboard to bi-directional. You can find the VirtualBox Guest Additions virtual CD drive under 'File Explorer' -> 'This PC.'

To install the Guest additions software from Oracle, click on 'Devices' -> 'Insert guest additions CD image' at the top of your virtual machine window.

With the Guest additions installed, you'll have access to additional features such as:

* Additional drivers for better performance

* Bi-directional drag-and-drop functionality

* Bi-directional clipboard functionality

* Shared folder functionality

These features will enable seamless file transfer and copying between your Windows 10 host machine and your Ubuntu virtual machine. By following these steps, you'll be able to set up a functional Ubuntu VirtualBox image on your Windows 10 (64-bit) machine.
