Optimization

Open VirtualBox, highlight your virtual machine in the sidebar (NITP VM 2016), and go to Machines > Settings > System. From here, you can adjust how much RAM your machine gets and how many processor cores (Under the Processor Tab) - Slide both the RAM and processor Cores as close to the Red as possible, while staying in the green zone.

Shared Folders

Shared Folders allow you to share folders/files from your host to your guest (NITP VM 2016). Open Virtualbox, and go to Machines > Settings > Shared Folder. Click the Green (+) Folder Icon. A popup should appear. For the Folder Path: Choose a folder you would like to share. For Folder Name, type in "host". Check the Automount option. Now bootup your VM. Go into your "home" folder on the desktop. There should be a "host" folder. That will be the location for the "shared" tunnel between. Official Instruction
