EvrenOS installation on a VM for Windows
What will you need?

In this dialog box, you can choose which features to install by accepting the default and clicking Next.
3. After clicking Install, you will probably see the User Access control confirmation dialog box from Windows OS.

Click Yes to continue, and you will see that the installation process will begin. Wait for the installation to complete.
5. After the installation is completed, you shall see the installation completion dialog box. If you leave Start Oracle VM VirtualBox after installation is checked, VirtualBox will launch automatically. If you unchecked it, you will have to launch Virtualbox manually. Click Finish to exit the installation.
