Windows 10 Tech Preview Question

It depends. VirtualBox isn't the greatest VM software ever made and it is a tech preview. But if you have GuestAdditions installed (should be a option for this somewhere in the toolbar at the top of the window) you should be able to just change resolution the way you normally do in Windows.

 

I used VMware Workstation and it allows you to just change the resolution to anything. I could just go fullscreen and the VM resolution would automatically switch to 1920x1080 (my monitors resolution).

Is there any way to change the aspect ratio of a Windows 10 virtual machine in VirtualBox from 4:3 to 16:9?

I don't believe so, there isn't a way to change your aspect ratio in the Windows '10' settings as it auto-detects it.
