Troubleshooting issues when
creating a virtual machine with 64-bit guest operating system in 32-bit host
virtual platform.
If you see an error while
creating a virtual machine with 64-bit guest operating system, it may be due to
one of these reasons:
- Hardware
Virtualization Technology (Intel VT-x or AMD-V) is not enabled in BIOS.
BIOS settings that must be enabled for VT-x support vary depending on the
system vendor.
- CPU is
not capable of VT-x or AMD-V.
- Some
Enterprise-class antivirus software create a small hypervisor between the
hardware and your host operating system. As a result, the host operating
system runs in a virtual machine. Without hardware-assisted
virtualization, you cannot run a 64-bit guest operating system on the
Intel hardware with a VMware product.
