In order to make the transition from Windows 10 (or W8.1, W11) to Linux as smooth as possible, it is necessary to plan ahead, take plenty of time and do proper preparation. I am assuming that all the required software will be downloaded using the existing W10 machine or another Windows-based one.
Preparation

I am assuming that you have already installed VirtualBox and that your CPU supports virtualization, using either Intel VT-x or AMD-V (SVM) which has been enabled in the BIOS.

2. Select Linux as the Type. ...
