Your virtual machine is all ready! Now we need to install Harry Potter. You can still access that menu bar, but now it will be at the bottom centre of the screen.

Follow the Windows 10 Setup, making sure to chose Custom Install instead of Upgrade when you get to that stage. Click the green Start button and it will ask you to select a disc image, chose the Windows 10 ISO you just downloaded. Once your copy of Windows is downloaded, head back into Virtual Box and select the Windows 10 you created earlier. Select ISO File and click Next and save it to your Desktop. Select the version you chose earlier when setting up Virtual Box, either 32bit or 64bit and click Next. Select 'Create installation media' and click Next. Click Accept on the terms and wait again.
Run the Media Creation Tool you just downloaded and wait for it set up. Go to and click the 'Download tool now' button If you already have one, great you can skip this whole step. We need to create an ISO of Windows 10. Click Display, make sure Graphics Controller is set to 'VBoxSVGA' and tick 'Enable 3D Acceleration' and slide the Video Memory bar to 256MB. If you were unable to select amount of drives you wanted, please scroll to the bottom of this guide for help, if you could, skip this step. Now click the 'Processor' tab and give it half of the CPU's available, I have 12, so I gave it 6. Click on it so it's highlighted, and press the Settings tab at the top. You should now be back on Virtual Box main page and have a 'Windows 10' on the right side. For File location and size, it will give you 50GB recommended, depending on what you have available on you computer, this is up to you, I'd recommend not going under 32GB. Now select 'Dynamically allocated' and click Next. For Hard Disk, chose 'Create a virtual hard disk now' and then click Create. Chose your Memory Size, I advise giving half of what is available, so if you have 8GB, give it 4GB, I dont recommend anything less than 2GB though. 'Type' leave at Microsoft Windows and 'Version' chose Windows 10 (32bit) or (64bit), I advise setting this to what your current PC/Laptop uses now. Click the 'NEW' button, in the Create Virtual Machine window, under Name enter Windows 10, chose a machine folder of your choice (where you want it to save) Close all Virtual Box windows and start up Virtual Box again, if you get a message saying there is anew version just press OK. Once installed, run the Extension Pack file you also downloaded, you may experience a error, just press OK, then it should install anyway. Now run the Virtual Box-6.0.0 installation file you just downloaded (NOT THE EXTENSION PACK) and install it. Download the 'Windows hosts' file and the 'Extension Pack' file. Go to and scroll all the way to the bottom until you get to the 6.0.0 version of Virtual Box. It looks a lot but if you follow the steps its quite simple, it does take around 1-2 hours to do though, but once set up its quick and easy to use. It seems a big issue with Windows 10 laptops.
Thought I'd just post the way I got around this game not working/crashing to desktop on my girlfriends Windows 10 laptop.
