You must select the template for Windows 10 (or at least 8.1) in the VM properties.

(This does not only set the visible parameters, but also enables a specific CPU opcode.)

Be sure that:
- VT-x/AMD-V is enabled in the BIOS and available in the host (remove hyper-v if installed)
- Make sure the correct OS template is choosen in the VM config

Thank you for your help.
I checked in the bios and the voice VT-d (I don't have VD-x) is enabled and the template that I choose is correct.

If you really don't have VT-x then you can't run Win8 or Win10 in a VirtualBox VM.

VT-d is not necessary. But if you have it then you must also have VT-x, and Intel agrees: http://ark.intel.com/products/46472/Int ... e-2_93-GHz.
