Installing Windows 2012r2 on latest Vrtualbox Version

Post by GeneB »

Hello - New User - I want to install WIndows 2012r2 (64 bit) in a new VM but is not a option in the create dialogue. Any help, or direction to help, would be appreciated.

What's wrong with selecting "Windows 2012 (64-bit)"?

I bet that you have no other "64-bit" guest available options either. Please go thoroughly through the FAQ: I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests.
