#Virtualbox 64 bit mac how to

As a side note, a few months ago I made another idiotic mistake: I enabled a bunch of BIOS passwords to make myself feel secure but then forgot how to disable them! Uninstalling and reinstalling VirtualBox made no observable difference so I booted into the BIOS to see what I could find there. This was super annoying because all my ISOs were 64-bit therefore I couldnвЂ™t use them until I fixed this problem. This post is going to be succinct and to the point.Д®ven though my Host OS is a 64-bit version of Windows 8.1, VirtualBox categorically refused to display any 64-bit guest OSes in the Create Virtual Machine dialog box.

Today I want to save you the painВ I encountered by showing you how to fix a problem I experienced in VirtualBox. I installed Windows 8.1 from scratch using the Product Key, copied over all my software ( I probably should have used NiniteВ but I was too lazy)В and then mindlessly enabled a bunch of options that I never enabled before.Д«ut Alas! Stupidity has a cost and in my case it cost hours of discomfiting nights scouring Google for a solution. I experienced an extremely nettlesome problem after swapping out my traditional hard drive for a faster Solid State Drive ( SSD).
