Virtual Machine VMWare "prompt: Software virtualization is not compatible with the long mode on this platform" SOLUTION
When you use a 64-bit Windows 7 operating system, you cannot run VMWare, MS Virtual server, or other software Virtual operating systems.
Error message:
The prompt is"Tip: Software virtualization is not compatible with the long mode on this platform. Disable the long mode. If the long mode is not supported, the virtual machine cannot run 64-bit programs..."
Main reasons:
Currently, the commonly used VMWare and other software are based on 32-bit. To run a 64-bit Virtual Machine on it, you need to enable virtualization! Windows 764-bit OS is disabled by default! Therefore, enabling the 64-bit cpu vt option and virtualization is a permanent solution to solve this problem. However, due to the limitation of the CPU model, some CPUs do not support enabling virtualization.
Solution:
Restart your computer, log on to the BIOS settings page, go to the "Configuration" menu, and find"Intel (R) VirtualTechnology"Option to change its value"Enabled", Save and log on to the system after exiting (the "Intel (R) VirtualTechnology" options for different models are different, and some are in the "Configuration" menu, some are under the virtualization option in the "Security" menu)
