Cannot upgrade Mac OS 10.6.8 to Mavericks - processor issue

Post by William194 »

I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8 within VirtualBox 4.3.2 on a Windows machine with an i7 processor. I would like to upgrade my OS to Mavericks through the App Store. When I try to do so, I get the erroneous error message that my processor does not meet the new Operating System's requirements. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? Thank you.

Running OSX on a Windows computer is not supported.
