It was showing 64-bit operating systems as one of those options in VirtualBox but you don’t know why there are only 32-bit versions listed below. There are two issues here. You either have Hyper-V turned on, or have Intel Virtualization Technology disabled in BIOS. When trying to create a Virtualbox VM recently I was only presented with the option of creating a 32-bit client. After a bit of research it turns out this can be caused by incorrect settings in the BIOS or by a competing Virtual Machine software cohabiting the system. First of all your CPU must support the virtualization extensions. This tutorial will show you step by step what to do when VirtualBox is only showing 32-bit and no 64-bit versions of operating systems as options while creating a new virtual machine. Note: This may be obvious for most of you, but your host operating system should be 64-bit to run 64-bit guest operating systems in VirtualBox. I have created a Windows 10 (64-bit) guest. I installed VirtualBox v6.0.10 in the Windows 10 guest (Windows 10 Pro – v1903 – 64-bit). I am trying to create an Ubuntu (64-bit) guest inside the Windows 10 guest. I only see 32-bit options inside the Windows guest. After several attempts to resolve this, I am still only seeing 32-bit options. If the host machine is 64-bit and you are using VirtualBox to host and running your virtual machine, don’t be puzzled if your VirtualBox is showing you that it can only support for 32-bit of operating system. This isn’t “normal” and you can fix it to enable VirtualBox to support 64-bit OS. You are not restricted in running 32-bit of Windows.
I am running VirtualBox v5.2.32 on an Ubuntu 18.04 host. I have created a Windows 10 (64-bit) guest. I installed VirtualBox v6.0.10 in the Windows 10 guest (Windows 10 Pro – v1903 – 64-bit). I am trying to create an Ubuntu (64-bit) guest inside the Windows 10 guest. I only see 32-bit options inside the Windows guest. After several attempts to resolve this, I am still only seeing 32-bit options.
The purpose for creating a VM inside a VM is to be able to ensure that VirtualBox is working so that I can test Vagrant configuration inside a Windows 10 environment. Our Vagrant config is using 64-bit base images, so I need to be able set up 64-bit guests inside this Windows 10 guest.
…on the Ubuntu Host
I have checked Enable VT-x/AMD-V
on the System > Acceleration tab in the Ubuntu host's VirtualBox config for the Windows 10 guest machine.
…on the Windows Guest
In the Windows guest machine, I can see that the host's physical CPU details are passed through in Settings > System > About and it shows as a '64-bit operating system, x64-based processor'.
This is a vanilla Windows 10 Pro installation, no additional software (i.e., no addon virus protection software).
I inspected Windows Features to ensure that the following are not checked:
Virtualbox Only 32 Bit Amd
- Guarded Host
- Hyper V
- Virtual Machine Platform
- windows Hypervisor Platform
- Windows Subsystem for Linux
…because my googleing seems to indicate that some or all of these might be an issue.
Based on a VirtualBox forum (I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests), using gpedit.msc
, I set Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Device Guard > Turn on Virtualization Based Security to Disabled
. I also check that Windows Security > Device Security > Core Isolation Details is set to Off
.
I have 'repaired' the VirtualBox installation. I have uninstalled VirtualBox, rebooted, reinstalled, and then rebooted again.
I looked at these related, previously asked questions and followed their suggestions as indicated in the steps above. Everything I am finding seems to be related to a Windows 64-bit host running directly on the host machine, not dealing with a Windows host which is itself a guest VM.
Hi,I use Windows 10 1511 64-bit.
I installed the latest VirtualBox 5.0.10 r 104061.
Virtualbox Windows 10 64 Bit
When I run VirtualBox, I see only 32-bit operating systems for choice available.
In BIOS Intel Virtualization is enabled, Hyper-V in Windows 10 isn't installed.
Virtualbox Only Showing 32-bit Windows 10
When running the installation of VirtualBox again, choosing Repair, afterwards I can see also 64-bit operating systems for choice, the problem seems to be fixed. But when I reboot Windows, the same problem arises, only 32-bit operating systems available for choice.
