Why is VirtualBox only offering 64-Bit options?

Hello there, I'm trying to run the Automatíon vid with virtual box for MacOS but it does not work. I think it may be that the system I need is 32bits and in virtual box only give me the 64bits option.

I've also downloaded the extension so.


I'll wait for your answer.

Greetings!

Hi,

Since macOS only supports 64bit applications. VirtualBox is also 64bit utility.

For many years, Apple supported 32bit applications, either on native 32bit hardware, or on 64bit hardware alongside 64bit applications. The last version of macOS that supported the execution of 32bit applications was macOS 10.14 “Mojave”, and Apple dropped all support for this version in October 2021.
