Re: My Pc Downloads The AMD Version Of VirtualBox But I Have An Intel Processor
I cannot understand what your problem is. There is only one version of VirtualBox for all Windows systems, regardless of what brand of CPU you have. The current one is called VirtualBox-5.2.22-126460-Win.exe .
In any case, AMD is a name usually simply means that it is a 64-bit program (as in kali-linux-2018.4-amd64, which installs fine using an Intel 64-bit processor). This is simply a convention. x86 means 32-bit, AMD means 64-bit (because AMD used the 64-bit format first, and x86 represents the Intel 32-bit processors 386,486 etc).
