Virtualbox 32 Bit Linux

Red Hat Linux 9 is an open source Linux distribution, the last version of the award winning operating system before the project was splitted into the free Fedora Linux project and the commercial Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) product. Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack. Free for personal, educational or evaluation use under the terms of the VirtualBox Personal Use and Evaluation License on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris x-86 platforms. Virtualbox 32 Bit - downyup. VirtualBox for Windows 7 - original software that allows you to experiment with operating systems. Creates a virtual machine, allows you to set iron parameters within certain limits. The advantage is the modular architecture and the presence of internal logic. Suitable for users with an average level of skills. I experienced the same problem while trying to install a 64-bit version of Linux Mint inside VirtualBox. I opened VirtualBox, clicked on NEW, entered a name for the virtual machine, choose the type of operating system, but when I wanted to choose a version, I only saw.

I am running a Linux Mint 17.03 Host, 64 bit, and am trying to set up multiple 64 bit guests.
When I attempt the startup, I am only given the option for 32 bit guests.
I went into the BIOS and Security, it seems that virtualization is enabled.
Whats more, I know that Windows 7 64 bit works on my current hardware setup, and i replaced it with LM 3 days ago.
I am running VB 5.0 if that matters.
Also, I attempted to run 64 bit guests a week ago, with Win7 64 bit as the host, same issue.
I know I'm a loser, please help.

I am so excited to get started with all this, and I'm hitting a wall before I get out of the gate!

By default, VirtualBox only allows to install 32 bit OS on it. But sometimes, 64 bit OS is wanted for specific uses such as running platform specific tests. To allow installing 64 bit OS on VirtualBox. Below information is needed.

Here is the official documentation about 64 bit OS:

VirtualBox supports 64-bit guest operating systems, even on 32-bit host operating systems, provided that the following conditions are met:

You need a 64-bit processor with hardware virtualization support (see the section called “Hardware vs. software virtualization”).
You must enable hardware virtualization for the particular VM for which you want 64-bit support; software virtualization is not supported for 64-bit VMs.
If you want to use 64-bit guest support on a 32-bit host operating system, you must also select a 64-bit operating system for the particular VM. Since supporting 64 bits on 32-bit hosts incurs additional overhead, VirtualBox only enables this support upon explicit request.
On 64-bit hosts (which typically come with hardware virtualization support), 64-bit guest operating systems are always supported regardless of settings, so you can simply install a 64-bit operating system in the guest.

Warning

On any host, you should enable the I/O APIC for virtual machines that you intend to use in 64-bit mode. This is especially true for 64-bit Windows VMs. See the section called “'Advanced' tab”. In addition, for 64-bit Windows guests, you should make sure that the VM uses the Intel networking device, since there is no 64-bit driver support for the AMD PCNet card; see the section called “Virtual networking hardware”.

If you use the 'Create VM' wizard of the VirtualBox graphical user interface (see the section called “Creating your first virtual machine”), VirtualBox will automatically use the correct settings for each selected 64-bit operating system type.

Based on the documentation, VirtualBox allows to install 64 bit OS even if you have a 32 bit host OS installed. But one necessary condition is that you have a 64 bit processor. The next thing you need to do is to enable hardware virtualization.

You can enable this by going to the BIOS settings, usually when you start your computer, press F12 and then it will go into BIOS mode, there you can find the config setting 'Virtualization Technology' and vt-d feature. By default they are disabled, you need to update them to Enabled. After this, restart the computer and you will see the 64 bit OS option when you create new virtual machine.

Download (M - 0.6 GB / G - 2.1 GB)

One last thing you need to do is to have an 64 bit OS to install on the created VM.

If you don't know how to install OS on VM, you can go to Guide for installing Ubuntu in VirtualBox on Windows.

Tip

To know which CPU you have, on Windows, you can open Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Processor.

On Linux, you can use command lscpu.

I am running Windows 8.1 Pro (64 bit) on an Asus laptop, Core i7 processor with 12 gigs of RAM. I have made sure that virtualization is enabled in the BIOS. All is good on that end. Despite this, VirtualBox does NOT allow me to install any 64-bit OS.
