VirtualBox Installation 1. Download the Windows 10 ISO. First off, head over to the Windows 10 download page. If you are a Windows user, MS will prompt you to download the Media Creation Tool. It seems that the current versions of Virtual Box do not include virtualization for Windows 98 at all. Probably because of the 16-bit to 32-bit compatibility methods that Windows 98 had, along with no real OS security to speak of. That said, it is possible to install Windows 98 in a Virtual Box virtual machine. Your guide is excellent.

I've tried to speed it up as follows:
• Increasing 'base memory' from 1024MB to 3584Mb didn’t help. More than that (with 128MB video memory) prevents the virtual machine from loading. But 1024MB works fine with a W10 (332-bit) or Linux Mint (64-bit) host.
• Enabling I/O APIC didn't help
• Can’t select multiple processors (option is greyed out on x64 host, but not on x32 or Linux host!)
• Can’t enable VT-x/AMD-V (Acceleration tab is greyed out on x64 host, but not on x32 or Linux host, which do have it selected!)
• Can’t enable Nested Paging (Acceleration tab is greyed out on x64 host, but not on x32 or Linux host, which do have it selected!)
• Increasing the display memory to 128MB didn’t help
• Enabling 3D Acceleration and/or 2D Video Acceleration didn't help
• Unchecking 'Use Host I/O cache' made no difference
• Checking 'Solid-state drive' made no difference, even though the .VDI file is stored on a SSD
• Excluding c:VirtualMachines from Defender scan didn’t help, nor did disabling Avira in the VM
• Turning off indexing (in the virtual machine) didn’t help
• Defragmenting the virtual hard disk (in the virtual machine) didn't help
• Changing the power plan (in the host machine) to 'high-performance' didn't help
Any other suggestions?
