I am sick of Microsoft bugging me to upgrade to Windows 10! Finally capitulated with reservations that VirtualBox would not work afterwards. Sure enough the guest will not load. Upgraded to VirtualBox 5 (actually supports Windows 10) but still got errors related to the bridged network. In the host settings I cannot choose an adapter name. After much searching, I found this to be the most helpful suggestion.
Here are the tweaked instructions:
- Install normally (VirtualBox-5.0.10-104061-Win.exe)
- Reboot
- Manually install bridged networking drivers C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\network\netlwf\VBoxNetLwf.inf (right click, select install)
- Open Network Connections
- Right-Click on your Ethernet adapter and select “Properties”
- Click “Install”
- Select “Service”
- Select Virtual Box NDIS6 Bridged Network Driver
- Select OK.
