Not able to start Windows 10 / 8.1 VM's
Posted: 3. Oct 2015, 03:29
I have a Samsung R530 laptop with dual pentium processors (T4400) running an Ubuntu 14.04 host system. I am using Virtual Box 5.0.6, installed yesterday. My two Windows 7 VM's are running OK, but the Windows 10 and 8.1 ISO's (32 bits) I have downloaded from DreamSpark do not install. They both complain about missing VT-x and AMD-V. Which is true, because those processors can't support such technologies. Although I thought I could run a 64 bit host and install the 32 bit versions of Windows 10 and 8.1.
Is this so; they can not simply be installed, not even the 32 bit versions? In such a case I must use (still another) Windows 7 32bit guest, in order to test Office 365 from my campus license.
And eventually, start looking for a replacement for my laptop, which nevertheless is a great machine!
I will upload the required log files (text and image). I had to make a zip to be within the upload limits.
