32-bit only?

Post by datahorder »

I only see the ability to use 32-bit operating systems on Virtual Box. But my NAS has an Intel® Celeron® J3455,
and its Processor Architecture is X.86 64-bit.

How can I allow for 64-bit OSs to be installed?

Please be noted that all X86 models including 220/221/421/422 are supporting VirtualBox. Only 210 model does not support VirtualBox at the moment.

As the VT-x feature has not been activated in previous models. To install a 64 bit OS in your VirtualBox, you need to enable this feature, here is what you need to do viewtopic.php?f=75&t=545

I'm using an F2-421.

I got the 64-bit OS options to show up using those steps. You also need to enable (for Intel x64):
VT-x (Intel Virtualization Technology) as well as VT-d.

But when I tried to create a new virtual disk it says:
terramaster vbox error.png


In the details it says:
Exception Object

My disk isn't full, there's lots of space free.
