I installed Windows 11 in Virtual Box in case I need it for school but it keeps crashing. My laptop is 12gb RAM and I gave the VM 8gb RAM.

If I upgrade my laptop RAM to maybe 16gb and give the VM 12gb RAM would that help? Thanks I’m a newb

    How do you feel about trying Virtual Machine Manager instead? I really prefer it over virtual box, personally. It uses the KVM virtualization built into the Linux kernel instead of needing a module like vbox. If you want to stick with virtual box for some reason, I would make sure that all the drivers are installed on the windows guest, you should really always do that with a VM.

    https://sysguides.com/install-a-windows-11-virtual-machine-on-kvm is a pretty good guide I have followed for VirtManager.
