So this is definitely a BIOS problem. I have closely inspected my BIOS and found no option anywhere related to virtual machines. I fiddled with a lot of BIOS options but VirtualBox is staunchly stuck at pure 32-bit VMs. My motherboard is Gigabyte B450 AORUS and its BIOS version is F5. How do I check if a newer BIOS exists, which hopefully will solve my problem ? Thanks, Manish Jain
