I only have a choice of 32 bit operating systems in VB

Post by glennpl »

I am running windows 8.1 . I have 64 bit win 8.1. I have tried to create a number of virtual machines and 32 bit machines are my only choice in virtual box menu. I saw on internet where disabling hyper -v may solve my problem but I dont have Hyper-v in my program features . I followed directions from a web site on how to disable hyper-v but I dont have Hyper -v option. Would appreciate some help.

64-bit guests need hardware-virtualzation enabled in the hosts bios.
