Open VirtualBox Manager to create a new virtual machine by clicking Blue color new button. Go through the wizard and configure your Virtual for Android per your need. Specifications I used to configure my Android Virtual Machine are as follows:

1. Operating System – Linux and Other Linux (64 bit) as you can see in the image below
2. RAM – around 3GB
3. Hard Drive – 8GB

Now you need to restart your virtual machine and don’t forget to mount the downloaded Android ISO File. When the system reboots you will see Ubuntu like option which allows either to use the operating system without installation and to install. Select Last Option which is Install Android -86 to hard disk.

Next option will ask you to Create/Modify partition to install Android on Windows Virtual Machine. Select the option and press enter

Now select the New option and press enter to create a new partition. Follow the instructions below to create new partition without any problem

1. Select New to create partition
2. After that Choose Primary option
3. Highlight the Bootable option to make the partition Boot on start up
4. Finally select Write option by moving the cursor from keyword arrow keys and type “Yes” to store the changes
5. Now select the Quit option to go ahead with the installation process

 After following the above steps you will see a new partition, select the partition and press enter to install Android on Windows. Follow the given steps to format and create a bootloader for an Android Operating System.
