Description: VirtualBox is great program to develop a number of virtual PCs in your computer's memory. All military-industrial complexes can contain a certain amount virtual devices along with a separate OS. The military-industrial complex can be used in Everyday life in different paths - from testing software to the development of huge networks that you can easily change, scale, and also provide full protection against modern viruses and risks. You can download VirtualBox for free, the program is released completely open source code. You will be able to control the program directly either through the GUI interface or by using command line. In order to expand the range valid functions, a special series was created SDK installations. IN XML format describes VM formats that are in no way dependent on the characteristics of your computer. It follows that you can easily transfer virtual computers from one PC to another without much difficulty. Easy setup will help you quickly understand the installation of the system. If you have a need for a number of virtual computers, then enjoy using them.

Network and server administrators are often faced with the need to test hardware, software, and certain parameters and settings for real servers. But testing something on a running server is extremely dangerous, as it can lead to data loss and operational failures.

Specialized software comes to the rescue in this situation. Capable of emulating real computer and do everything with it necessary actions. The most popular program V in this case– VirtualBox from Oracle.

How to use virtualbox?

virtualbox 32/64 bit for windows 7 and 8 must be installed on a work computer running an operating system Windows systems. In the future, VirtualBox allows you to create any number of virtual machines with selected parameters, and install any operating systems on them for testing. In this case, real physical computer will be the host one, and the operating system on it will be the host one.

When installing the operating system on virtual machine It is worth paying attention to the fact that it must be configured properly and comply minimum requirements. In this case, the operating system installed on the virtual computer is called a guest operating system.

Thanks to the use of virtual machines, testing of hardware, software and necessary settings. With all this, the virtual and physical machines communicate with each other via network connection. In addition, a virtual machine can seize control of any equipment installed on a physical computer.

The program is also available for operating systems such as MacOS and Linux (popular for Ubuntu and Mint).

Hello everyone, Let's talk today about a not entirely pleasant problem that you may have if you decide to use virtual by VirtualBox machine. The problem is that you cannot install 64-bit Windows. That is, when creating a virtual machine, you do not have the choice of 64-bit Windows, only 32-bit.

I also had such a problem, but it was a long time ago, about four years ago, then I still had an ancient Pentium 4 processor. I loved my Stump and didn’t get rid of it for a long time..

Let me remind you that we're talking about that in this VurtualBox menu there is no item for Windows installations 64-bit:

Well, why is there no x64 option in VirtualBox? The first option is the most commonplace, it is that your processor does not support virtualization technology. Almost all modern processors have it, both Intel and AMD. Even older processors have it, but not all of them; for example, the Pentium 4 family does not have it (only the 662/672 models have it). But with Pentium D and higher, almost all processors already have virtualization. I can’t say anything about AMD, but I think the picture is about the same.

In any case, new processors have virtualization. If you don't, then you either have an old processor or some rare or special beast.

But how can you tell whether your processor supports virtualization or not? Of course, it’s best to just watch it, and then search the Internet for information about the process. You can also download the CPU-Z utility and it will show you the information, for example, for me Pentium processor G3220, this is the information the CPU-Z program shows about it:

You see, there is something called Instructions, there is a list of instructions that the processor supports. True, there is one point here: each processor company calls virtualization technologies differently. For Intel it’s VT-x (if there’s VT-d, then that’s even cooler), but for AMD technology called AMD-V. For example, here is information about the AMD FX-8350 processor, and here it is also indicated that the processor supports AMD-V technology:

By the way this AMD processor I really like the FX-8350, it’s not that expensive, it seems to be about half the price of a Core i7. But in terms of power, it is clear that it loses to the i7, although the FX-8350 has 8 cores, and the i7 only has 4. But as for me, the advantage of the AMD FX-8350 is that it has 8 cores, that is, where it is needed multithreading, then the FX-8350 may be more efficient, or maybe not, I don’t know for sure..

Well, it seems like we've sorted it out. That is, to check the processor whether it has virtualization or not, the fastest way would be to download the CPU-Z utility (it is very simple and does not load the computer) and quickly take a look in it. And then if you need information about the process, then you run CPU-Z and all the most important information is there!

By the way, not everyone knows, but VirtualBox works without virtualization. I'm not sure, but I know for sure that VirtualBox used to have built-in software virtualization; I don't know if it exists now. However, I personally did not notice the effect of it: without virtualization technology, the virtual machine works with brakes and this is completely uncomfortable.

There is also such a joke that VirtualBox does not seem to see that the processor supports virtualization. To fix this problem, here's what you can do. I’ll say right away that I’m not sure that this will help you, but it has helped some users. You need to disable one component that relates to virtualization, but slightly to another, so to speak. Here's how to do it, click right click on Start and there in the menu select Programs and Features (topmost):

Now look, you will have a list of components, some are included and some are not. What needs to be done here? Here you just need to uncheck such a component as Hyper-V, here it is:

After that, reboot and see if it is possible to install 64-bit Windows. If everything worked out, then you will have a list like this, that is, you can install 64-bit:

By the way, there is an opinion on the Internet that VirtualBox is better than VMware, but is this really so? Well, in general there is not that much debate on this topic, but there is enough, but many, as I understand it, do not argue at all, because they are confident that they are right. Well, there is such a thing, I don’t argue either, because I’m sure I’m right.. But I’m sure, because I’ve carried out tests more than once, and in all cases I have VMware (or, to be more precise, free version VMware Player) always worked faster than VirtualBox. In terms of convenience, I somehow like VirtualBox more. But if I need to work with a virtual machine often, then I choose only VMware. Well, that’s true, just a note to you, my opinion would be to say so..

But I haven’t written something yet, I forgot, this is my mistake, sorry. It may be that your processor supports virtualization (if it is modern, then 95% of it does), but there is still no choice of 64-bit Windows. What's the matter? The thing is that virtualization technology is an option that can be turned on or off in the BIOS. And not all motherboards have this option enabled by default! In general, you need to go into the BIOS (turn on the computer > press the F1, F2, Del buttons for ten seconds, wait for the BIOS, the method works on a lot of hardware) and enable this virtualization there. There something will be written like Virtualization Technology and it will be Enabled (enabled) or Desabled (disabled). Something in this style, here is an example, but you may have a different design:

I forgot to say something else, in Windows 10 in the manager you can also see whether virtualization is enabled or not. On the Performance tab there is such a thing called Virtualization, everything is listed there:

I’ll also tell you in a nutshell what virtualization is. This is when the virtual machine can send commands to the processor directly. Well, something like this. Intel has basic virtualization, this is VT-x, and advanced virtualization, this is VT-d. VT-x allows you to simply send commands to the processor directly, but VT-d allows you to transfer entire devices to a virtual machine PCI bus, for example a video card. But as a rule, VT-d goes to more expensive processors. I'm not sure about AMD, but most likely there is something similar

Well, guys, that's all. I hope that you can still figure out the reason why there is no x64 choice in VirtualBox. I think that you will solve this problem, because most likely you have modern processor, which hardware supports this virtualization. Good luck in life, Have a good mood
