So I found a video and started to load Virtual box on it with Ubantu, then realised that I needed to do  a different install for Kali and so uninstalled it and reinstalled VB with Kali. I also started to watch another video on <strong>Ethical Hacking Full Course &#8211; Learn Ethical Hacking in 10 Hours<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Ethical Hacking Full Course - Learn Ethical Hacking in 10 Hours | Ethical Hacking Tutorial | Edureka\" width=\"678\" height=\"381\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dz7Ntp7KQGA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That also referenced Kali as operating system (about 3 hours into this tutorial). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VB &amp; Ubuntu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn&#8217;t the first video I used to install <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ubuntu.com\/download\/desktop\" target=\"_blank\">Ubuntu <\/a><\/strong>on VB but it highlights something which I had an issue with on first install, that is it kept on trying to re-install itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=diIW3fgewhI\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first time I installed it it was seriously slow, and on closing it down and starting VB again it wanted to reinstall the iso file. So after install you need to move\/delete the iso file so it can&#8217;t find it, then it&#8217;ll install properly. It loads up with some freeware libreoffice and firefox, which is handy, so you can start using it straight away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am having issues with screen proportion at the moment, but I can always tweek that later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VB &amp; Kali<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I found the <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/Kali Linux 64-Bit (Installer)\" target=\"_blank\">kali download site<\/a><\/strong> and initially I downloaded a .ada file but it needed the iso file , about 3 gigly bites, so a couple of whiles later with slow download I had that ready to install, it is a Debian Linux system install that is different and more elaborate than the Ubantu install, lots more questions and there seemed to be more individual settings and partitioning and a GRUB install for booting the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/qH8Igk2wF9o\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All very complicated, and after install I rebooted windows and then couldnt log in as the keyboard didn&#8217;t work. The trackpad and on\/off button worked but the normal keypad NO! (oh shit oh shit oh shit) but fortunately I could plug a keyboard into the USB and get access to logging in. There seemed to be a problem in device manager the HiD Mini Driver for Surface had a STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE and uninstalling the driver and re-starting computer quite a few times did not fix it at all. So I tried to delete the VB and then restarted windows and all was well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So after that scare I decided to install Ubantu on VB and allocate it more RAM &amp; CPU (2 instead of 1)and hopefully it would have a better speed as the first install was pretty sluggish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I opened the VB again I saw the Kali install was still there, and I tested it and it works, so I shut it down and then re-booted Windows and that works fine too, the keyboard is working. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"696\" data-src=\"https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2020-06-19-18_18_07-Oracle-VM-VirtualBox-Manager-1024x696.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6419 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2020-06-19-18_18_07-Oracle-VM-VirtualBox-Manager-1024x696.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2020-06-19-18_18_07-Oracle-VM-VirtualBox-Manager-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2020-06-19-18_18_07-Oracle-VM-VirtualBox-Manager-768x522.jpg 768w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2020-06-19-18_18_07-Oracle-VM-VirtualBox-Manager-50x34.jpg 50w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2020-06-19-18_18_07-Oracle-VM-VirtualBox-Manager-74x50.jpg 74w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2020-06-19-18_18_07-Oracle-VM-VirtualBox-Manager-100x68.jpg 100w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2020-06-19-18_18_07-Oracle-VM-VirtualBox-Manager-147x100.jpg 147w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2020-06-19-18_18_07-Oracle-VM-VirtualBox-Manager-941x640.jpg 941w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2020-06-19-18_18_07-Oracle-VM-VirtualBox-Manager-640x435.jpg 640w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2020-06-19-18_18_07-Oracle-VM-VirtualBox-Manager-1130x768.jpg 1130w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2020-06-19-18_18_07-Oracle-VM-VirtualBox-Manager.jpg 1134w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/696;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reading a few posts on the Kali install apparently this is not for beginners, so I&#8217;m feeling fortunate that I got it up and running.
