Solution 1: Enabling Intel Virtualization Technology If the file is not valid or of a different kind, you will not see 64-bit operating systems in the options of VirtualBox.

iso file which will be used to load the guest operating system on your computer. Furthermore, you should also have a valid guest OS.

CPU with virtualization enabled: A valid CPU is required which has virtualization enabled on it for VirtualBox to work on your computer.īefore we start with the solutions, make sure that you are logged in as an administrator on your computer.

Core isolation: Windows has a core isolation option for its processors.

They have to be removed for VirtualBox to work properly.

Device Guard/Credential Guard: Device Guard or Credential Guard are applications which provide security of hardware and credentials on your computer.

System Debuggers and VM Platforms: If you have installed system debuggers or other VM managers/platforms on your computer, they might conflict with VirtualBox for resources and cause some of the features not to work.

It must be disabled to access the full features of the application.

Hyper-V: Microsoft’s Hyper-V is known to cause issues with VirtualBox application.

Indeed, the 'host' OS actually runs on the hypervisor too. If you're using a hypervisor (type I virtualisation) like Hyper-V, VMWare ESX, Virtual Box, etc, then it should be possible, because the guest OS does not run on the host OS, but on the hypervisor. In fact, I'm not aware of a type II virtualisation product for the Mac at all. I'm not aware of a 32-bit type II virtualisation product for the Mac that allows a 64-bit OS to run as a 64-bit app. If you mean on a machine with a 32-bit OS, then again, it's not possible to run a 64-bit guest on a 32-bit OS without emulation (something would need to translate the 64-bit instructions into 32-bit instructions) unless either (a) the 32-bit OS allows 64-bit applications (like Mac OS X) or (b) you can bypass the OS with a hypervisor. If you mean hardware with a 32-bit processor that doesn't have 64-bit capabilities, then no, you can't do that through virtualisation - you would need an emulator rather than virtualisation and I'm not aware of one existing. Depends what you mean by a '32-bit host'.
