True but I can already see the benefit of having both systems running at the same time.
My work is mostly divided into online and offline.
I would do all of my online work through Zorin and offline such as graphical softvare use through Windows. I do these things quite interchangeable so dual-booting would be difficult
I'd love the answer to this, as well. My aim is different... But I would like to be able to run more than one Linux Distro at the same time instead of booting into them for Testing Purposes.
While you can do this "other way around" you will miss out one big advantage = security. It is way more secure to run Windows as VM than running it on a bare-metal.
It also makes restoring Windows a breeze since backing up VM is as simple as copying a single folder.
Since I've never tried this "other way around" installation, I cannot tell you in an absolute term, but one thing to keep in mind is that one should not give more than 50% of the computer power (number of CPU cores, amount of RAM, and Video card memory) to VM for a stability reason. This is BTW, a major drawback for serious gamers, who want to use 100% of the computer resources.
In fact, since the VM also virtualises drivers, it will run faster compared with the same spec bare-metal. I can install Windows as VM much faster than on bare-metal since I do not have to bother with all those drivers.
Unfortunately, that is the scale factor only. Doesn't really increase the resoultion. I see now that there are some "guest integrations" I will need. I guess I will be googling this one out.
Yes, that is what you need!
I thought you have already installed this function.
Well, I should never assume anything when I cannot actually see the machine in front of me
I installed the general extensions. I don't know does that includes it.
My vm has mouse and keyboard support but I can't scale the screen.
Also since there was no option for zorin specifically, I chose Ubuntu 32bit as a vm type. I don't know if that has something to do with it.
I think he used a build in so-called "Easy install" function of Virtual Box. I gave an instruction for how to install Zorin from iso file. I hope he can follow my instruction.
