virtualbox only shows 32 bit (Solved)

[mhbell]

Did a clean install of Mint 20 cinnamon on a ssd. Nothing else on the ssd. installed virtual box. When I go to stoart it to add a guest OS it only shows 32 bit distros. Where are the 64 bit ones?  why can't I get 64 bit? as far as I know virtual is loaded in the bios. anyone else having problems with virtualbox?

I'm running LMDE 4 and I get the same thing.  Only 32bit.  But on my Win 10 box, I get both 32 and 64.  Hope somebody knows the answer.

 

edit:  Went into BIOS and enable SVM mode.  I now have 64bit options.

Yep my SVM was somehow disabled when I switch SSD's. %^ &TYZ**U Asus MB Firmware. They bury the SVM under sdvanced cpu at the very bottom. I go it working now.
