Windows – Can Windows Virtual PC run a 64-bit OS

64-bitmicrosoft-virtual-pcvirtual machinewindows 7

I'm running Windows Virtual PC (RC) on a Windows 7 (RTM) 64-bit host. When I create a new virtual machine and try to install 64-bit Windows 7 on that VM, I get "this CPU is not compatible with 64-bit mode."

Is there a way to create 64-bit virtual machines?

Windows Virtual PC does not support 64-bit guests. You may want to look into VirtualBox or VMware. You may also want to see the answers to the similar question on Server Fault.
