At this point, I get a blue Android setup screen asking me to choose the
language, but the Windows mouse doesn't yet put a cursor inside the Android
window except for the menus on the VM window.
So that's all I need to debug now.
The mouse is strange.
And, for some reason, the Guest Additions ISO won't work either.
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso
But Android is up, a Google Play account was created, and I ran Android
software on Windows following these tutorials for installing Android 7
Nougat on Windows

Using those articles, I now have Android 7.1 running inside of Windows.

I've used Google Play to install Android software in the virtual machine,
and it seems to work.

The mouse is quirky, and I can't get the Guest Additions ISO to work but so
far those are the only glitches.

For VMware it is like this. VirtualBox sounds similar.
1. There are no Guest Additions for Android. (The ISO does not
have an Android version of the Guest Additions.)
1.1 One cannot install the Guest Additions in Android.
1.2 One gets the VM fallback mouse behaviour for when guest
additions are not installed.
2. Mouse integration is not quite as seamless without guest
additions.
2.1 One clicks inside the virtual machine (VM client window
area), and the mouse now belongs to the guest. Moving the
mouse now moves the guest's mouse pointer. At this point
all mouse pointer movement is confined to inside the virtual
machine.
2.2 One then presses Ctrl+Alt together, and the VM releases the
mouse back to the host. Moving the mouse now moves the
host's mouse pointer. One can now move the mouse pointer
outside the VM and click on things in the host. One might
see a frozen guest mouse pointer, which does not move with
the mouse (until one goes back to 2.1).
