I have virtualbox installed. I have a virtual machine created.

When I go to attach the ISO file to the empty slot, I get this message:
Failed to open the disk image file /home/user/Downloads/Win10_20H2_v2_English_x64.iso.

Could not get the storage format of the medium '/home/user/Downloads/Win10_20H2_v2_English_x64.iso' (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED).



Result Code:
VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80BB0005)


Component:
MediumWrap


Interface:
IMedium {ad47ad09-787b-44ab-b343-a082a3f2dfb1}


Callee:
IVirtualBox {d0a0163f-e254-4e5b-a1f2-011cf991c38d}


Callee RC:
VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80BB0001)



I also have an official Windows USB flash drive, but IDK how to use it with virtualbox as I had problems trying to get it to work.

The ISO is probably corrupt: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=66675

Tried it again and I was able to attach the ISO for some unknown reason but then I get this error:
"RTR3InitEx failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912)
The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox. The installation of VirtualBox was apparently not successful. Executing
'/sbin/vboxconfig'
may correct this. Make sure that you are not mixing builds of VirtualBox from different sources.
where: supR3HardenedMainInitRuntime what: 4 VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH (-1912) - The installed support driver doesn't match the version of the user."

Edit: Thanks for the help CelticWarrior. I got the ISO to work by exiting and entering virtualbox. Now I have the above problem.

You should get into the habit of googling the error messages:

So, how exactly have you installed Virtualbox?

IDK how I installed Virtualbox. I have gone through many times of installing it and uninstalling it. It seems to be working now, so I now have my windows 10 on Virtualbox.

Thanks for your help.
