The Windows Sandbox (a feature of Windows 10 Pro) provides a temporary virtual machine instance that has these nice convenience features:

  • Resizing the Window to automatically adjust the display size/resolution
  • Copying and pasting text between host and sandbox
  • Copying and pasting files between host and sandbox

How can I enable the above features in a standard Hyper-V virtual machine?

I've created a guest VM, installed Windows 10 Home, enabled "Enhanced session mode", and enabled "Integration Services > Guest services" but none of these features are working. Is that because my guest is only using the "Home" edition, or is there some other setting I'm missing?

After I posted the question, I decided to upgrade my guest OS to Windows 10 Pro. As soon as I did that, all 3 convenience features I listed above suddenly activated, with no further settings required.

So it appears these features are only supported on Windows 10 Pro guests, and not 10 Home guests.
