This article mainly introduces the reason why VM8 can not install 64-bit operating system, has a certain reference value, interested friends can refer to, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let the editor take you to understand it.

On the 64-bit WIN7 system, I encountered the problem that the 64-bit system could not be installed in VMWARE8. At first, I thought there was a problem with the downloaded ISO and VMWARE software. After several attempts, it was found that neither Linux nor Windows could be installed on a 64-bit system.

Error message in VM:

After checking the relevant information, in order to install a 64-bit operating system in VM, it is necessary to meet the following three conditions, none of which are indispensable:

First, CPU should be 64-bit.

Second, CPU should support VT technology.

Third, the motherboard Bios setting to open VT.

The first two items can be detected by securable.

"64 Maximum bit length" means that the CPU of the CPU; with 64-bit CPU is 32-bit, but it is also 64 detected by "securable". This shows that the CPU also supports 64-bit systems and can install 64-bit systems.

"hardware D.E.P", which has nothing to do with VM installing a 64-bit operating system. In short, DEP (data execution Protection) is a windows protection against overflow.

"Hardware virtualization" refers to whether the CPU supports hardware virtualization. If this item is displayed as "YES", your CPU supports VT technology. If the 64-bit system cannot be installed in VM, this CPU VT function is not enabled in BIOS. At this point, you need to turn on the VT function in the motherboard Bios. Change the two DISABLED items in the following figure to ENABLED, and then save and exit.

If the above three conditions are met and VMware still cannot install the 64-bit operating system, please adjust the VMware setting and the Processors Virtualization engine option.

To sum up, to install a 64-bit system in VMware, you need to meet the appropriate conditions. If you are not successful, please check carefully to determine where the problem lies.

Thank you for reading this article carefully. I hope the article "Why VM8 can't install 64-bit operating system" shared by the editor will be helpful to you. At the same time, I also hope you can support us and pay attention to the industry information channel. More related knowledge is waiting for you to learn!
