Virtualization

[Pacoqui]

Thank everybody in this forum, I am newbie. My system is an OMEN by HP Desktop PC - 870-017ns (ENERGY STAR)

My question is:

I want to install a Virtual Machine, an Oracle one, in an 64bits environment like my system. I can’t find my 64bits environment during set-up of the virtual box. Do I need to do some change in my BIOS or in my system?.

Thanks.

Hi:

See if your PC has a BIOS setting located as in the picture below to enable virtualization...

Here is a long support thread for virtualbox on this issue:

http://superuser.com/questions/668006/why-virtual-box-wont-give-me-option-to-create-64-bits-guests

Lots of supposed fixes...reinstall virtualbox, turn off Hyper-V, etc. Have you checked the BIOS to be sure hardware virtualization is turned on if available? A 32 bit guest will run without hardware virtualization support but not a 64 bit guest.

Ok, and thanks you very much. I found the ítem Virtualization, in my BIOS, Security, Seg. System, and I put it as Enable. The system looks stable, and next I will install the Virtual Box again. I will tell you the situation. And again, thank you very much four your time.

OK, following instructions, now I can see my w10 64bits environment on the  Oracle VBos software. Thanks a lot. Bye.

just so it shows, if someone is looking for this answer for a 880-104np ( as I was ), it works

thanks Paul
