Now you should be using the correct architecture, 64-bit. Now pull down the "Version" pull-down and change it to "Debian (64 bit)". In most cases it is not necessary to download and use all of these images to be able to install Debian on your. After the installation you can start the WSL console by either clicking the 'Debian' tile in the start menu or by typing 'debian' in powershell or cmd. We're going to change the architecture settings to 64-bit, which are under "General". Changing a VM's architecture to 64-bitįirst go back to the main window of VirtualBox, and select "Settings".įrom here you can access the various hardware settings for a given VM.
So if we change the VM's architecture to 64-bit we should be OK. However if you reboot it and this time select "Live (amd64 failsafe)" you'll get a huge clue as to what's wrong. If you select "Live (amd64)" your VM will seemingly hang without any notification of what's gone awry. The eduBD here is a special version of the BD image that is targeted specifically at 64-bit Intel machines. No big deal, this is accessible under the "Storage" menu item under the "Settings" for the new VM. Here's the issue, if you haven't guessed by now.Īfter going through the wizard to create a VM you'll need to attach the downloaded ISO to your newly created VM. VirtualBox doesn't really help the situation either, since it never offers you an option to change the architecture so you're left to figure this out on your own. I'm embarrassed to say this but this one stumped me for a day before I realized what was going on.
