Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum, using VirtualBox for several years, but now I find myself with a considerable problem, I changed my PC in the office and is equipped with a I5-6500 processor, I installed the latest version of virtual box but I can not create virtual machines with Windows 7 64bit, I can only create virtual machines with Windows 7 32bit, how come? I try tomorrow if at least one previously created works.
Can you help me?
Thank you

What actually happens when you try to create a 64-bit Windows 7 VM? Do you get an error message?

Hello, thanks for the feedback.
entering in Virtual box and clicking the new machine in the choice of version does not give me the option to select windows 7 64bit, but only 32bit.
I install the windows Qualcunque important that it is 32bit, I am attaching the picture

Hopefully your processor supports Virtualization Technology (VT-x)
I would suggest you look in the Bios of your new PC and see if Virtualization (VT-x) is enabled.
