# Install Windows Sandbox
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- ARM64 (for Windows 11, version 22H2 and later) or AMD64 architecture
|
||||
- Virtualization capabilities enabled in BIOS
|
||||
- At least 4 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
|
||||
- At least 1 GB of free disk space (SSD recommended)
|
||||
- At least two CPU cores (four cores with hyper-threading recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> Windows Sandbox is currently not supported on Windows Home edition.
|
||||
> Beginning in Windows 11, version 24H2, all inbox store apps like calculator, photos, notepad and terminal are not available inside Windows Sandbox. Ability to use these apps will be added soon.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that your machine is using Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise, build version 18305 or Windows 11.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Enable virtualization on the machine.
|
||||
|
||||
- If you're using a physical machine, make sure virtualization capabilities are enabled in the BIOS.
|
||||
- If you're using a virtual machine, you need to enable nested virtualization. If needed, also update the VM to support nested virtualization. Run the following PowerShell commands on the host:
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
Set-VMProcessor -VMName <VMName> -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $true
|
||||
Update-VMVersion -VMName <VMName>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Use the search bar on the task bar and type **Turn Windows Features on or off** to access the Windows Optional Features tool. Select **Windows Sandbox** and then **OK**. Restart the computer if you're prompted.
|
||||
|
||||
If the **Windows Sandbox** option is unavailable, your computer doesn't meet the requirements to run Windows Sandbox. If you think this analysis is incorrect, review the prerequisite list and steps 1 and 2.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> To enable Sandbox using PowerShell, open PowerShell as Administrator and run the following command:
|
||||
>
|
||||
> ```powershell
|
||||
> Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName "Containers-DisposableClientVM" -All -Online
|
||||
> ```
|
||||
|
||||
4. Locate and select **Windows Sandbox** on the Start menu to run it for the first time.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> Beginning in Windows 11, version 24H2, Windows Sandbox adheres to the mouse settings of the host system.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> If you are on an older build and if the host system is set to use a left-handed mouse, you must apply these settings in Windows Sandbox manually when Windows Sandbox starts. Alternatively, you can use a sandbox configuration file to run a logon command to swap the mouse setting. For an example, see [Example 3](windows-sandbox-configure-using-wsb-file.md#example-3).
