  2. Launch VirtualBox, and create a new virtual machine you will find the option for you to pick the versions are expended and 64-bit operating systems should be listed. There you go, if you only see 32-bit OS available that means something is wrong, and you are not utilizing the hardware to efficiently running those virtual machines.

VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware, targeted at server, desktop and embedded use.For a thorough introduction to virtualization and VirtualBox. VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Not only is VirtualBox an extremely feature rich, high performance product for enterprise customers, it is also the only professional solution that is freely available as Open Source Software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2.

This tutorial will show you step by step what to do when VirtualBox is only showing 32-bit and no 64-bit versions of operating systems as options while creating a new virtual machine.

Note: This may be obvious for most of you, but your host operating system should be 64-bit to run 64-bit guest operating systems in VirtualBox.

If VirtualBox has no 64-bit option on Windows 10, then you can try the solutions on this page to fix the problem.

Methods:

My experience with this problem

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 32-bit versions and NO 64-bit versions as an option.

But:

Fortunately, I found a simple solution online and on this page, I will share that solution with you.

Note! Your host operating system (OS installed on your PC) must be 64-bit.

I was using a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 10 Pro while creating this tutorial.

Make sure that “Intel Virtualization Technology” and “VT-d” are enabled

Enter BIOS settings and check if “Intel Virtualization Technology” and “VT-d” are enabled.

The following steps may be slightly different on your computer.

1. Start (or restart) your PC.

2. Press the right keyboard key to enter the BIOS setup. This must be done before Windows starts, so it's best to press the key a few times directly after you start your PC.

The exact key or key combination depends on your computer manufacturer and model.

Common keys to enter the BIOS are F1, F2, F10, DEL, and ESC.

3. Look for the following settings Intel Virtualization Technology and VT-d.

4. Make sure that they're both enabled.

5. If you made changes, then you must save the settings.

Windows 10 (host) must be a 64-bit operating system

To check if your Windows 10 is a 64-bit operating system, press the [Windows] + [pause] keyboard keys.

At System type (located under System), you should see something like 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor.

Hyper-V must be disabled

Hyper-V is Microsoft's hardware virtualization product.

It lets you create and run virtual machines (like VirtualBox).

But:

Many third-party virtualization applications (including VirtualBox) do not work together with Hyper-V.

That's why you must make sure that Hyper-V is disabled.

To check if Hyper-V is disabled, follow the following steps:

1. Right-click on the Windows start menu button.

2. Click on Run.

3. Enter optionalfeatures.exe in the Run window.

4. Click on OK or press Enter.

The Windows Features window will appear.

5. Check if the Hyper-V option is unchecked.

6. If the Hyper-V option unchecked (like in the screenshot above), then you can close the Windows Features window.

But:

If the option is checked, then you will need to uncheck it and then click on OK.

If you want to be 100% sure that Hyper-v is disabled then follow these steps:

1. Right-click on the Windows start menu button.

2. Click on Command Prompt (Admin).

3. Enter the following command:

4. Press Enter.

5. After the command is finished, you will need to power down and reboot your PC.

Solution 1: Repair VirtualBox installation

1. Right-click on the installer file (the one you used to install VirtualBox) and choose Run as administrator.

If you don't have the installer file anymore, then you will need to download it from the VirtualBox website (www.virtualbox.org). The installer file must be the same version as the version of VirtualBox that's installed on your computer.

2. When the Windows User Account Control window appears, you click Yes.

Note: You might need to enter an administrator password in the User Account Control window and then click Yes.

A setup window will appear.

6.1

3. Click on Next.

4. Click on the Repair icon.

5. Click on Repair located at the bottom right.

VirtualBox will now start the repairing process. This will only take a few seconds.

6. After the repair process is finished, you click on Finish.

VirtualBox may ask you to restart your PC.

Hopefully, this simple solution will solve your problem.

Solution 2: Disable “Memory integrity” in Windows 10

1. Open Windows Security.

2. Click on Device security.

3. Under Core isolation, you click on Core isolation details.

4. Make sure that Memory integrity is turned off.

If Memory integrity was enabled and you just disabled it, then you may need to restart your PC.

Hopefully, this simple solution will solve your problem.

Portable-VirtualBox is a free and open source software tool that lets you run any operating system from a usb stick without separate installation.

Installation instructions

  1. Download and run Portable-VirtualBox_v5.1.22-Starter_v6.4.10-Win_all.exe.
  2. Choose a folder to extract to.
  3. Go to the folder and run Portable-VirtualBox.exe. You'll see a window like the one below:
  4. If you have already downloaded the installer for VirtualBox from www.virtualbox.org click search and navigate to the file. If not, click 'Download The Installation Files of VirtualBox.' Portable-VirtualBox will show you the download's progress.
  5. Once the installer is download, check the boxes that are appropriate and click OK. Portable-VirtualBox will extract the files it needs from the VirtualBox installer, and restart itself afterward if you select the last checkbox.

Optional configuration

Portable-VirtualBox makes default settings automatically. You can modify them by pressing CTRL-5 or opening the tray menu while Portable-VirtualBox is running. Either action will bring up the configuration GUI below. The Hokey-Settings tab is shown open in the image below:

Features

Virtualbox Extension Pack 6.1.16

  • Splash screen to start and end
  • Configurable Home Directory
  • Launch the VirtualBox GUI or directly launch a VM
  • Configure the hotkeys for managing your virtual machine
  • Configure USB and network support
  • Choose language for GUI
  • Saves settings in editable *.ini-files
  • Can automatically check for VirtualBox updates
  • All absolute paths in the VirtualBox.xml are replaced automatically by relative paths
  • Checks to make sure VirtualBox files exist

Install files signature

Virtualbox 6.1 32 Bit Windows 10

All install files after launcher version 6.4.10 is digitally signed. Signer is “Open Source Developer, Runar Buvik”, certificate is issued by Certum Level III CA. This is temporarily disabled until a new certificate arrives in the mail.

Note

VirtualBox needs several kernel drivers installed and needs to start several services: if the drivers and services are not already installed you'll need administrator rights to run Portable-VirtualBox.

When Portable-VirtualBox starts, it checks to see if the drivers are installed. If they are not it will install them before running VirtualBox and will remove them afterward. Similarly, Portable-VirtualBox checks to see if the services are running. If not, it will start them and then stop them when it exits.

If you want to save space you can remove the language files for other languages than your own. That can save you nearly 10 MB. They are in the nls directory.

You can also delete the documentation saving nearly 5 MB. You will find it in the doc directory.

When the VM is running you must press the 'Host-Key' (initially configured as the right CTRL-Key) to be able to use the other Hotkeys since otherwise the VM will have the focus.

Important

None of the files that come from VirtualBox are modified or otherwise changed.

Portable-VirtualBox downloads the VirtualBox installer which contains all of the VirtualBox files and drivers. Portable-VirtualBox unpacks the files and stores them in subdirectories . Portable-Virtualbox can also compress them in order to save space.
