preparing Virtualbox for windows 64bit

  • 772

I want to install Win8 on Virtualbox inside my Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.

Vbox gave me no option for win8 64bit (only 32bit available) when creating a new machine. Thus I googled...

On this page of the virtualbox manual I found:

Warning:

  1. you should enable the I/O APIC
  2. make sure that the VM uses the Intel networking device

Questions:

  1. how do I (know if I did) enable I/O APIC?

  2. how do I know if I have this Intel networking device?

Vbox version: 4.3.16 r95972

windows

  1. If you right click on your VM in the Vbox manager and go to settings (1st option on the menu), you can confirm your I/O APIC setting (system->motherboard tab) and network device (in network in the advanced (click to open) section).
