When trying to upgrade my VM of Windows 8 (x64) to Windows 8.1 (x64), I receive a message from the Microsoft Store stating: "Sorry, you can't install this update because it's not supported by your computer's CPU." It points me to a link that discusses PAE, NX and SSE2.
In my System settings in Oracle VM Virtualbox Manager for the Windows 8.0 VM, I have the Extended Feature of "Enable PAE/NX" enabled on the processor tab. Is there anything else I can enable/disable for Oracle Virtualbox to properly emulate what my CPU capabilities are?
My processor in my machine is: AMD FX(tm)-8320 Eight-Core Processor, 3500 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
I have Windows 8.1 loaded on my PC directly so I know my PC hardware is compatible. I upgraded from Windows 8.0 (x64) to Windows 8.1 (x64). It worked just fine. It just will not work in the VM.

Change the selection from 8.0 to 8.1 in the guest settings and try again.
