Hi there!
I'm responsible for setting up virtual machines for a few of our clients. I keep encountering a Guru Meditation critical error message and cannot seem to determine the root cause.
Using the following specs:
Macbook Air (M1 2020)
Memory 8GB
Startup Disk Macintosh HD
MacOS Ventura 13.0.1
I've included log I have relating to this (had to upload a .zip as the file size was too big). I cannot seem to find a solution so any advice is really appreciated!

MacOS is your host, not your guest. I will move the topic to the "MacOS hosts" forum.
You can't install Windows 10 as a VirtualBox VM on an M1 host. See the stickied discussion at the top of this new forum.

Thanks for coming back on this! Can I run any version of Windows using VirtualBox on M1?mpack wrote:MacOS is your host, not your guest. I will move the topic to the "MacOS hosts" forum.

You can get 32bit versions (e.g. XP) to install, but whether they would be usable on a simulated Intel processor, I frankly doubt it. Also XP is very old (e.g. you'd have trouble finding Internet browsers compatible with modern Internet, because modern browsers no longer support XP).
And I will remind you: the only VirtualBox version that runs on M1/M2 processors is a developer preview, it doesn't even rise to the level of a beta. It is completely unsupported.
