It requires the virtual technology CPU, BIOS and motherboard, at Necessary hardware prereqs to run the 64 bit version of WIN7 on VirtualBoxĪs a VM. Just a dumb comment but it was not mentioned. > Can anyone point me in a direction of configuration to fiddle with > that VM (which is actually why the OS type said XP when you pointed it > Yes, I have a chrome OS VM working fine, and I had XP running fine in > when I am running a 64 bit version of openSUSE. > I guess that there is no real reason to try to virtualize a 64bit os, Visit the site, and navigate to Windows 7 ISO.
