    Only 32 bit for the virtual environment. How do I get 64 bits?


    I am trying to set up a Linux version inside the Virtual Box. However, only 32 bit installations are shown to me as a possibility.

    I used Windows 10 as operating system (64Bit).

    Hyper V is not installed!

    :)

    64 bit to 32 bit

    Windows 10 64 bit includes a 32 bit subsystem, so most 32 bit programs should work on Windows 10 64 bit without issue. If the software was designed for older versions of Windows such Windows 95 or Windows 98, it is a possibility it might have some 16 bit
    code. Usually such older apps have 16 bit installers and uninstallers that might prevent the app from working on Windows 10 64 bit.

    In such case, you might need to install the software in a virtual machine.

    Only 32 bit for the virtual environment. How do I get 64 bits?

    64 bit and 32 bit

    Maybe I am wrong, My system lists 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor. When I got to Microsoft.com it reads autodetected 32-bit. This is driving me bonkers.
