Open up Windows File Explorer, click on the CD Drive containing the Virtual Machine Addons and install it.Īlternatively you can also hover your mouse towards the top of the screen to expose the VirtualMachine Menu, Select Devices and select Insert Guest Additions CD Image. If you see that but you still can get full resolution changes are you have the incorrect version installed. Click on it, and you'll see the VirtualBox Icon Running.

In the VirtualBox Manager, navigate to the desired machines settings > Display > HiDPI Support. You can now use the new screen scaling functionality.įor the selected machine: Settings -> Display -> Screen -> Scale Factor, and use the slider/text field to set the desired screen scaling percentage.

You can now easily switch to the full-screen and work with ease on your Linux Virtual Machine.
