Virtualbox Only Shows 32 Bit

  

  • VirtualBox on Windows only supports one architecture x86, it does not matter if VirtualBox is a 32-bit or 64-bit process, the author's problem is connected to virtualization technology (VT-x) not being available to VirtualBox. The author indicated, in their question, they were running a 64-bit version of Windows 10.
  • VirtualBox Only Shows 32-bit Guest Operating Systems Options in 64-bit Windows 10. I recently upgraded the Windows 8 on my home laptop to Windows 10. Everything works fine except VirtualBox. I installed VirtualBox 5.0.4, after reseting Windows 10 to its original clean status.

I have downloaded and installed the newest virtualbox 4.3.20 for my Windows 7 (64-bit OS), but when I want to install 64-bit Linux, the New-Create Virtual Machine only displays 32-bit option, no 6.

Below is a posting from another user just recently. The answer to this problem was gibberish by the site moderator (Apple Host?). Since that link is locked because it is resolved(?) I am repeating the question here and looking for a valid answer. I am having the exact same problem and I would like a valid answer. I have Virtual box on a Intel Xenon server and Ubuntu 64 bit shows up. When I installed Virtual Box on my laptop (Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with a Intel Core i5-4300M CPU @2.60GHz), I only have the option for 32-bit Linux (Ubuntu) and other OS's. I sure would like to use the 64-bit OS's like I was on my desktop!

Virtualbox Only Shows 32 Bit Options

So I have this weird problem that I have been trying to fix for a couple of days now. When installing the latest version of VirtualBox, I can only choose 32 bit when creating a new Machine. After some googling, I found a solution where all I had to do was to Repair the program using the installation file. After repairing, the 64 bit versions shows up. However, after repairing, Virtualbox tells me to reboot my system in order to complete the reparation. But after rebooting the system, I'm back where I started, where only 32 bit is showing up which has left me in some sort of evil circle.
Also, if I try to run a 64 bit Machine after repairing, but before a reboot, I get the following pop-up error: NtCreateFile(DeviceVBoxDrvStub) failed: 0x000000e STATUS_NO_SUCH_DEVICE (164 retries)(rc=-101).
I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with a Intel Core i5-2540M CPU @2.60GHz. I have(atleast I think I have) disabled Hyper-V and the Intel Processor Identification Utility says the Intel Virtualization Technology and Intel VT-x is enabled(I dont have the BIOS password so I can not verify this in the BIOS itself).
Does anyone have any solution to my annoying problem?
Thanks in advanceVirtualbox Only Shows 32 Bit

You have just installed the VirtualBox and you are about to setup a new 64 bit operating system. But, from the selections – you realized that only 32 bit operating system are available and no 64 bit operating systems!

Download Virtualbox 32 Bit

If you just select the 32 bit operating system, you will also notify that the tab of Acceleration is greyed out (under the Settings > System).

Depending on the CPU manufacturers (AMD or INTEL), you will need to activate the Intel VT-x and AMD-V virtualization hardware extensions in the BIOS level. Once done, you will able to see and select the 64 bit operating system.
