Windows 10: oracle virtual box won't show 64 bit options

Hi, I tried creating a kali linux 64-bit on my virtualbox, but it won't let me pick 64-bit options, only 32-bit and what I downloaded is 64 bit...

I was told to shut down the hyper-v in windows features but turns out it was already off... any ideas??

thanks!

Oracle VM Virtualbox 4.2.28 is compatible with windows 10

Hi,

I am using windows 8.1 64 bit, and Oracle VM Virtual box 4.2.28 to run the windows xp (ie I have two windows in my pc, windows 8.1 to run myob and windows xp to run Dbase Plus, Dos command).

I am considering to upgrade my windows 8.1 to windows 10, however I need to be sure if Oracle VM virtual box 4.2.28 is compatible with windows 10. If not, what version I should upgrade Virtual box. and what the procedure I need to follow up.

Do I need to do the following:

1.Upgrade the windows 10 first

2. uninstall the old version of Oracle VM Virtual box

3. install a new version of Oracle VM Virtual box

I am sorry, as I don't know much about the computer, we are a small company, a lot of thing we have to figure out by ourselves. Therese your advice and instruction would be highly appreciated.

Regards

Doan

 

How much space will Windows 10 Build 10130 eat?

Hello,

It would be 25 GB sufficient for creating new virtual hard disk to install that build. I've installed it on my Oracle VirtualBox by selecting settings of
Windows 8.1 (32-bit/64-bit) and it's working perfectly with that.

You can select RAM: 1 GB (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit).

Hope this helps, Good luck

 

Hey avnaf,
Assuming your CPU has 64bit capability and support for virtualization technologies. Check your BIOS to see if Virtualization Technology is enabled.

Note: Take a look at your manufactures/motherboards manual for details.

 

Hi, this is my system info



I tried

checking in my BIOS, but couldn't find "virtualization".. Also I think I had had the option to use 64 bit a while ago...

 

BIOS option for virtualization may be called "VT-x" probably under advanced section/CPU configuration section.

If there is a VT-d turn that on as well. Your I5-6600 supports both so should be there somewhere - similar to this perhaps intel core i7 - How to enable hardware virtualization on Asus motherboard - Super User

 

Found it!!
Thanks a lot!

My BIOS option was called intel virtualization something and it was under "advanced/cpu configurations" or something like that
