[Solved] Error while trying to boot Windows 8.1 VM

[Aesclapia]

Hello everyone !

First things first, I'm a total novice in using VM, so I had to create a new subject because I don't even know exactly what the problem is ; I'll try my best to explain everything through though.

So, I'm hosting on a Windows 10 (64-bit) and guesting a Windows 8.1 (32-bit, because for some reason while creating a new machine I didn't have the choice of creating a 64-bit one).
My first problem was that I tried to use an ISO of Windows 8.1 in 64-bit, but obviously had an error message. So I had to create a second one and select an ISO with 32-bit.

Now, I'm trying to boot it, and get another error message. I'll give you the logs here (not sure which ones are useful, so I'm just putting every log created at the time I got the error). Unfortunately I am apparently not allowed to join them as attachments so I'll just write them :

I don't know what else I can say about that problem, but please ask for anymore infos you might need

Thanks in advance !

Firstly, posting the contents of whole logs as text within a forum message makes it a PITA to read and interpret. It is easier if you zip the log file and use the "Upload attachment" option.

guesting a Windows 8.1 (32-bit, because for some reason while creating a new machine I didn't have the choice of creating a 64-bit one).

This is most likely because the virtualisation support a) doesn't exist in your CPU, b) is disabled in the BIOS, or c) has been hijacked by something else. To determine which one it is we need the one log file you appear not to have posted - the VBox.log file for the guest.

You need to enable VT-x in the host PC BIOS.

See FAQ: I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests.
