I installed Windows 11 in Virtual Box in case I need it for school but it keeps crashing. My laptop is 12gb RAM and I gave the VM 8gb RAM.

If I upgrade my laptop RAM to maybe 16gb and give the VM 12gb RAM would that help? Thanks I'm a newb

I’ll just say that I don’t think you’ll ever get stability with 8gb for win 11

First, I’ve never tried using Linux as a VM host, so there might be something in play I don’t know about. However, having run Windows 11 as a guest under Windows 11 and macOS, I can push Windows 11 down to 1 GB of RAM With no problems. It’s a little sluggish when opening apps but never unstable. Normally I run it with 4 GB.
