Make sure to enable virtualization in the BIOS. (It can work with less RAM as well, but your system will start to lag while using Linux in the virtual machine.) A 25GB+ Free space is good for installing the latest version of Ubuntu. Windows system with at least 20 GB of free space. (You can also use some other computer with an internet connection to download these files.) Good internet connection to download software and Linux ISO. Ubuntu GNOME requires 4 GB of RAM to function properly, your system should have 8 GB to allocate 4 GB to the guest OS (Ubuntu) and keep 4 GB for the host OS (Windows). The virtual machines use your host OS’s system resources. I’ll use this terminology in the tutorial here. Your actual operating system is called host OS and the operating system you install in the virtual machine is called guest OS. Installing Linux inside Windows using VMWare In this tutorial, I will show how to install Ubuntu inside Windows using VMWare. You don’t have to make actual changes to the disk partition, no changes in the boot and Linux runs like any other application inside Windows. VMWare and similar virtualization software can be of great help. You may have to use Linux as part of the course curriculum, for some development tools (like Docker) or just for experimenting with Linux desktop before making the switch. And for a relatively better desktop experience, a VM is better. WSL and WSL2 might be easier but not everyone has access to them. Virtualization is a good way to try Linux from the comfort of Windows. 
This article covers a step-by-step guide on installing Ubuntu inside VMWare in Windows. There is also LockDown Browser for iPad, if allowed by the instructor.Brief: Software like VMWare gives an easy option to try and use Linux inside Windows. If the deadline for an exam is near, you may want to consider locating another computer, Mac or Windows, with LockDown Browser. We suggest reviewing Windows Control Panel-Device Manager and remove any VM drivers, allowing Windows to restore the default device driver. The other possible cause of the VM warning are leftover virtual machine device drivers from a previous installation of a VM host app or a physical computer image created from a VM image.
Shutting down the anti-virus software temporarily while you use LockDown Browser may help. This includes VM host applications (VMWare, VirtualBox, etc), thin apps (VMWare ThinApp, Microsoft App-v, etc), Windows Emulators (Linux-WINE, CodeWeavers CrossOver, etc) or other virtualization ("Virtual Hard Drives" or "vHDs", "Virtual Displays" or "Virtual Desktops").Īnti-virus software can sometimes result in this type of error when running small "sandbox" VMs. To maintain the academic integrity of an exam, students are not permitted to run LockDown Browser when a virtual machine is detected on the system.
