First, if you do not know how to download its iso and load it in the virtualbox, please refer to tutorial at this url: https://roboticsbackend.com/install-raspbian-desktop-on-a-virtual-machine-virtualbox/

First mount it to the virtual OS

  • Click on Devices menu and then Insert Guest Additional CD Image
  • This will popup. Click Ok
  • Right click on VBox _GAs… and Open in Terminal
  • Execute this below command with sudo meaning you elevated yourself as privileged user.
  • sudo bash VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
  • Hit enter and wait till it complete
  • Next we need to edit /etc/X11/app-defaults/Editres
  • Execute below command
  • sudo mousepad /etc/X11/app-default/Editres
  • Next give it a desired resolution we like. in my case I gave 1000 width/height.
