This download is licensed as freeware for the Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) operating system on a laptop or desktop PC from computer utilities without restrictions. VirtualBox 6.1.0 is available to all software users as a free download for Windows. Note: This may be obvious for most of you, but your host operating system should be 64-bit to run 64-bit guest operating systems in VirtualBox. If VirtualBox has no 64-bit option on Windows 10, then you can try the solutions on this page to fix the problem. Methods: Make sure that “Intel Virtualization Technology” and “VT-d” are enabled.

Install files signature
All install files after launcher version 6.4.10 is digitally signed. Signer is “Open Source Developer, Runar Buvik”, certificate is issued by Certum Level III CA. This is temporarily disabled until a new certificate arrives in the mail.
Note
VirtualBox needs several kernel drivers installed and needs to start several services: if the drivers and services are not already installed you'll need administrator rights to run Portable-VirtualBox.
When Portable-VirtualBox starts, it checks to see if the drivers are installed. If they are not it will install them before running VirtualBox and will remove them afterward. Similarly, Portable-VirtualBox checks to see if the services are running. If not, it will start them and then stop them when it exits.
If you want to save space you can remove the language files for other languages than your own. That can save you nearly 10 MB. They are in the nls directory.
You can also delete the documentation saving nearly 5 MB. You will find it in the doc directory.
When the VM is running you must press the 'Host-Key' (initially configured as the right CTRL-Key) to be able to use the other Hotkeys since otherwise the VM will have the focus.

This tutorial will show you step by step what to do when VirtualBox is only showing 32-bit and no 64-bit versions of operating systems as options while creating a new virtual machine.
Note: This may be obvious for most of you, but your host operating system should be 64-bit to run 64-bit guest operating systems in VirtualBox.
If VirtualBox has no 64-bit option on Windows 10, then you can try the solutions on this page to fix the problem.

My experience with this problem
I experienced the same problem while trying to install a 64-bit version of Linux Mint inside VirtualBox.
I opened VirtualBox, clicked on NEW, entered a name for the virtual machine, choose the type of operating system, but when I wanted to choose a version, I only saw 32-bit versions and NO 64-bit versions as an option.
But:
Fortunately, I found a simple solution online and on this page, I will share that solution with you.
Note! Your host operating system (OS installed on your PC) must be 64-bit.
I was using a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 10 Pro while creating this tutorial.
Make sure that “Intel Virtualization Technology” and “VT-d” are enabled

Common keys to enter the BIOS are F1, F2, F10, DEL, and ESC.
3. Look for the following settings Intel Virtualization Technology and VT-d.

A setup window will appear.
3. Click on Next.
4. Click on the Repair icon.
