64-bit guest support

Post by carlwain74 »

Hello all,

I have just recently installed VirtualBox (v4.3.22) on my Windows 7 64-bit OS. However, when I go to add a new virtual machine all I see are 32-bit entries.

My laptop is a Lenovo W540 and I have other 64-bit applications running just fine.

Based on the install location I assume taht VirtualBox has been installed as a 64-bit application.

Is there any specific reason why there would be no 64-bit entries in my case.

Cheers,
Carl

It was the BIOS setting as the CPU supports VT-x
