Many friends choose to install Virtual Box virtual machine on Mac computer, so that they can run Windows system on Mac. For friends who are unfamiliar with computers, after creating a virtual machine, they don't know how to add a Windows system image for installation. Let's briefly introduce how to add an installation image for VirtualBox.

When we just create a new virtual machine on Virtual Box and run it, a window will pop up to remind us to add the mirror CD file. Click the Directory icon in the window and select an image file on your computer.
