I downloaded the LTS version of ubuntu off the webpage and upon install to Virtualbox the error message says my pc is not 64bit. my pc is only i686? I use a hp pavilion x360 with windows 10. I thought it was 64 bit?
message says: This kernel requires requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot. Please use a kernel appropriate for your PC.
any help?
PS when i installed the VD the only option showing was for ubuntu 32 bit. there was no other ubuntu versions? hope that helps

Re: i686 instead of x86-64 CPU?
I would start by reading I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests and follow the guidance within.

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.

Thanks Andy. My problem is that i am a newbie and didn't know what to search for. searching for i686 did the trick and may have ended up in the same spot you refered me to. Thankyou
