I also migrated a VirtualBox image to KVM, and works nicely. The guest system 
is Windows 10. VirtualBox runs on debian jessie, and KVM in debian stretch. 

In contrast to Gordon's, my guest's screen resolution is set at the full 
capability of my HiDPI screen--2560x1600. A scale factor of 200% (Windows 10 
Settings -> Display) allows for perfectly sized texts, icons, and other items.

I believe KVM is just what I need. Considering VirtualBox is unavailable in 
stretch, I won't use it any longer.
