I am running Windows & Dev Preview; I have both x86 & (my preference) Windows 8 x64 running as VirtualBox virtual machines.
Win8 will not install using Windows VPC
Win8 will install as a virtual machine use VirtualBox,
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
In VirtualBox 'control panel' > Settings > Network
There is a box that says "Cable Connect" <--- that needs to be, must be Checked (check mark in)
AND Adaptor #1 (tab) can be set to NAT
This will give Win8 Dev Preview VM running on VirtualBox immediate internet connectivity.
To install Win8 on a VirtualBox vm you will need to know & do the following:
>> In the
System settings section for the Virtual Box VM, enable (check)
Enable IO APIC on the
Motherboard tab and
Enable PAE/NX on the
Processor tab.
>> In the
Network settings section, select the appropriate adapter tab (usually
Adapter 1). Then click on
Advanced arrow to expand/display the additional options. Select
Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM) from the
Adapter drop-down list. The Windows 8 guest OS will auto-detect this hardware and install the appropriate driver.
Enjoy/have fun
Cheers,
Drew
