In 2016, I did this too. I don't remember using Nox. I couldn't get
Android VM to work well in both VirtualBox and VMware Workstation.
BlueStack was the best one that worked for me.


At the moment, I have Android 7.1 Nougat running inside of Windows using
VirtualBox (which was already installed and running Linux & Windows).


Android isn't as nicely integrated into VirtualBox as is Linux though, so
without a tutorial, you'll be wasting too much time setting it up.


Even with a tutorial, they skip the steps I already did to set up
VirtualBox and they skip the steps to integrate the mouse, screenshots, and
clipboard.


For example, the guest additions iso won't load.

Yep, it is not easy. It looks like it is still not easy. BlueStack is
still the best to me.
