Missing 64 bit Virtual Machine in Oracle VirtualBox

Make sure your

•          Laptop is a 64 bit machine.
•          Operating system support 64 bit.
•          Oracle VirtualBox is 64 bit.

If the above checks out, you may need to configure your machine’s BIOS.

I am using a HP ProBook. 

Restart you laptop and enter your BIOS setup. This will require you to press a key during the booting process. In my case, the <ESC> key.

Press F10 to enter the BIOS Setup.

Go to System Configuration -> Device Configuration

Check the Virtualization Technology

Go back to System Configuration -> Set Security Level

Select Virtualization Technology – Change

Save your BIOS setting and let the laptop boot.

You should be able to see the 64 bit guest virtual machine now.
