Can I run virtualized 64-bit Operating Systems if my CPU doesn't support VT-X?
- by tintinmj
I have installed VMWare 10.0 workstation on my Compaq CQ60-615DX laptop. The Operating System is Windows 7 Home Premium.
When I tried to run Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit in a virtual machine in VMWare I get an error saying:
This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems.
However, 64-bit operation is not possible.
This host does not support Intel VT-x.
For more detailed information, see http://vmware.com/info?id=152.
So I googled and found that I have to enable Intel VT-x. But I found out that my processor doesn't support Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x).
So am I doomed and can I never run any virtual OS on my laptop? Or can I run 32-bit OSes?
