I have downloaded and installed the newest virtualbox 4.3.20 for my
Windows 7 (64-bit OS)
, but when I want to install64-bit Linux
, the New->Create Virtual Machine only displays32-bit
option, no64-bit
option. Could anyone give any clues about this issue? Thanks very much in advance!
Solution:
Take a look: http://www.fixedbyvonnie.com/2014/11/virtualbox-showing-32-bit-guest-versions-64-bit-host-os/
If VirtualBox is only showing 32-bit versions in the Version list make sure:
- You have an x64 CPU installed. (Optimally, a 64-bit OS should also be installed to receive acceptable virtualization performance.)
- Hardware virtualization is enabled in the BIOS. (Your CPU must support it.)
- For Intel x64: VT-x (Intel Virtualization Technology) and VT-d are both enabled
- For AMD x64: AMD SVM (Secure Virtual Machine) is enabled
- Hyper-V (or any other form of bare-metal hypervisor) is not installed
