Unable t get 64bit working on Lenovo Laptop

Post by awkWard »

Hi there,

I downloaded Virtualbox 32/64 bit and after installing, it says that I have 32bit Virtual box, also when I crate a new system it only gives me the option to create 32-bit systems. My processor is an AMD A8-6410 with AMD Radeon R5 graphics. But when I start my virtualbox, it says that it is 32 bit, and when I create systems, it only allows me to create 32-bit systems.
I even tried to follow the instructions on "How to Enable Virtualization on a Lenovo Computer on Windows"

So, now I cannot download 32-bit centos, and I cannot create a 64-bit machine in virtual box(preferred option), so I am between the devil and the deep blue sea...

any chance you can help me here, or point out my error so I can correct myself?
