Problem in installing Ubuntu 16.04.1 using virtual box

Question

I want to install the Ubuntu using the Virtual box. I am following the steps shown on this forum

When I click New on Virtual box. It only gives me an option for Ubuntu 32 bit, not 64 bit, Why is it so?

I have downloaded the virtual box VirtualBox 5.1.8 for Windows hosts x86/amd64 Ubuntu from official site is ubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64

With choosing 32 bit and setting Ram of 1 Gb and 16 GB Hardisk.

I am getting this error:

This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detectedd an i686 CPU
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU

@JonasCz I have updated my question can you please now – Aadnan Farooq A Nov 10 '16 at 07:36 — Aadnan Farooq A, Nov 10 '16 at 07:36

The solution is to disable the Hyper-V platform. My English level is not good enough to explain in detail how to do it, but look at the Windows features and you will find the option
