Before even ''thinking'' about installing Virtualbox, it is <u>'''absolutely essential'''</U> to first ensure that '''virtualisation''' has been enabled on your computer. Otherwise - if virtualisation has not been enabled - then assuming Virtualbox can even be run at all, its features and capabilities will be severely limited. For example, where Virtualbox has been installed on a 64-bit system, it will only be able to run 32-bit operating systems as Guests. As virtualisation is usually disabled by default, it will therefore be necessary to go into your computer's BIOS settings in order to activate it. Below is an example of enabling virtualisation for a HP G62 Laptop using an Intel chip-set (it may be a slightly different process for your own computer): | Before even ''thinking'' about installing Virtualbox, it is <u>'''absolutely essential'''</U> to first ensure that '''virtualisation''' has been enabled on your computer.
