Can't Install Virtualbox 6.1.30 on macOS Monterey

Post by brunomoreno89 »

When wizard starts, on first step is presenting error message:

Unsupported hardware architecture detected!
The installer has detected an unsupported architecture. VirtualBox only runs on the amd64 architecture.

I'm using MacBook Air M1 (2020)

Thanks in advance!

See viewtopic.php?f=8&t=104526

M1 is not supported - amd64 is quite different to the M1 arm64 architecture.

Maybe. Depends on what problem you're happening. Much more description is needed, and please start your own new topic.

No. Virtualbox does not support M1. See the sticky about why.
