Can Windows 10 Home 64b. be installed on VB as guest OS?

Post by Tiktak »

My PC: Windows 10 Home 64 bit, desktop. This is the host.

Plan to install Windows 10 Home on VB as the guest.
Watched a few youtube videos.
Some say both Windows 10 64 bit and 32 bit can be installed on VB as the guest.
But others say that only Windows 10 32 bit can be installed on VB as the guest.

Which one is the proper OS to be installed on VB as the guest? 64 bit? or 32 bit?

Thank you.

Both can be installed. If you can't install a 64-bit guest, please go thoroughly through the FAQ: I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Thank you Socratis.
I'll try to install Windows 10 Home 32 bit as the guest.
Thanks again.

Both 32bit and 64bit versions of Win10 have the same requirements, so if the 64bit version isn't offered then the 32bit version won't install either. I suggest that you read the FAQ Socratis linked you to and fix the problems.
