I'm running the latest version of Virtualbox on Windows 7 64-bit. I'd like to create a 64-bit guest, but I don't have the option. Only 32-bit shows in the drop down.
Is there something that I'm missing?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks.

From the FAQ: I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests.

Re: Can't create 64-bit guest on 64-bit Windows host
I'm an idiot. I thought for sure that I had checked the BIOS, but apparently I missed the virtualization settings. After going back in for a second look, I found virtualization was disabled. I enabled it and Bob's your uncle, 64-bit is now an option for guest.
Thanks.
Thanks.
