[JBenci]

Hi Guys,

I dont have the bandwidth to download Windows 8 but i would love to check it out.
Anyone in the West Rand that's willing to burn a copy for me? In return Ill buy a six-pack of your favorite beer.

Does anyone else get an error trying to install it in virtual machine? I downloaded the 64 bit version and when i try install it, it say that i dont have a 64 bit processor, which i do. I have a core i3 running windows 7 64 bit so that obviously isnt true..

Your vm emulates a 32bit cpu.

Your vm emulates a 32bit cpu.

Did a google search tho and people are saying that you need to enable virtualization in bios to correct this error.. However, ive checked and double checked, i have to virtualization option in bios.

Do you think theres any way i could get this to work in virtual machine? Or should i just download the 32 bit version and use that one in virtual machine...

You need to download the 32bit version as far as I am aware. Your VM emulates a specific cpu but dont know which vm you are using so cannot tell. It will never run as your original system cpu ie if you are running a Core i5 it wont emulate a core i5 system due the the cpu needing to run everything else as well.
