How to Install Linux Mint on VirtualBox on Windows 10

In This video tutorial I am going to show how to install Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon on VirtualBox step by step. More specifically We are going to install Linux Mint 19 "Tara" - Cinnamon (64-bit). In addition I will show How do I install VirtualBox Guest Additions on Linux Mint.

Linux Mint is a 32- and 64-bit Linux distribution for desktop computers, based on either Ubuntu or Debian.Linux Mint works straight out of the box: everything you need is already there in the distribution, meaning you don't have to spend time installing additional applications (-unless you want to)
It's based on Ubuntu, which means that the majority of sofware available for Ubuntu will also work on Mint
It's community based, which means that any Linux developers out there (-and there are many) can contribute to the codebase. Often, this means fixes are available quicker than distros maintained by companies (-such as Ubuntu and Fedora) - which generally only release updates twice a year.

VirtualBox is a virtualization software which allows us to run a guest operating system while simultaneously running their host operating system. What is VirtualBox Guest Additions? VirtualBox Guest Additions is software package which can be installed inside the OS (Operating system) running inside of the virtual machine, at or the guest machine.

The window scaling is not part of the VM itself, but you still covered it. What a legend.

Good video. I've watched a couple different ones on this and you explained a little more on curtain things that others did not (Erase disk, VB Guest addition). On the other hand you skipped on much and just told us to select things with no explanation of it and/or the other options. What about hardware drivers? Overall good video but please let us know why we should make curtain selections. Thanks
