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.

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

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.
