When it comes to harnessing the full power of your system’s hardware, enabling virtualization in Windows is a crucial step. This guide will address a common concern with VirtualBox: the limited 32-bit option. By learning how to enable virtualization in Windows, you can unlock the capability to run 64-bit virtual machines seamlessly, enhancing performance and compatibility.

This comprehensive tutorial will delve into the steps required to fix VirtualBox’s exclusive display of the 32-bit option. By enabling virtualization in Windows, you open the door to a broader range of applications, increased multitasking efficiency, and an overall improved virtualization experience.

Unlocking Enhanced Performance: Enabling Virtualization in Windows

Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, developer, or IT professional, understanding how to enable virtualization in Windows is a fundamental skill. Follow our step-by-step instructions to overcome the 32-bit limitation and unleash the true potential of your virtualization setup. Experience smoother operations, better resource utilization, and an optimized virtual environment through the power of enabling virtualization in Windows.

VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise and home use. Not only is VirtualBox an extremely feature-rich, high-performance product for enterprise customers, but 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. See the following guide on how to set up a VM via PXE boot on a Generation 1 VM and how to set up a VM via PXE boot on a Generation 2 VM, how to deploy images to computers or virtual machines using WDS and Windows deployment cannot continue, the operating system is missing via MDT deployment.

If VirtualBox is only showing 32 bits versions ensure to follow these steps described below.

– Ensure your Host OS is 64-bits
– Enable virtualization in the BIOS (Ensure Intel Virtualization Technology and VT-d are both enabled in the BIOS).
– The Hyper-V platform is disabled in your Windows Feature list,
i.e (check that Hyper-V is not running or even installed on my Windows. Same for VMware).
