VirtualBox 64-bit VT-x/AMD-V Not Operational Error

VirtualBox 64-bit VT-x/AMD-V Not Operational Error

Hello,

Make sure that your processor supports such technology. But today, most of the processors support those. AMD processors use AMD-V, Intel processors use VT-x. If you’re using a 64-bit guest OS, you also have to select that from your guest OS’s settings.

1. From VirtualBox’s main window, delete the problematic OS.

2. Create a new guest OS entry. Make sure that the ISO or CD/DVD contains 64-bit installation package and you’ve elected 64-bit from the OS list.

3. Run the guest OS.

If still facing trouble with such operation, make sure that such operation is supported by your BIOS. Restart your PC and press the “BIOS settings” button shown on the BIOS icon screen. There, find out the option saying “VT-x/AMD-V” and enable it.

Also, try the latest build of VirtualBox. Download VirtualBox.

Hope no more issue.

VirtualBox 64-bit VT-x/AMD-V Not Operational Error

The hardware acceleration indicated in the error message is not referring to the hardware acceleration of your video card but the one found on your computer’s BIOS. “VT-x/AMD-V” refers to the virtual machine hardware acceleration or Intel’s VT-x hardware acceleration which is found on your BIOS. This hardware acceleration helps accelerate virtual machines created with VirtualBox, VMware, Hyper-V, and other programs.

To fix this problem and enable hardware acceleration for your virtual machine, you need to enable the Intel VT-x feature on your BIOS. Close VirtualBox then restart the computer and then press DELETE on your keyboard to go to the BIOS. In the BIOS, look for the Intel VT-x feature and enable it. Save the changes and then exit the BIOS.

After booting, start VirtualBox and see if the hardware acceleration is working.
