VirtualBox: 64-bit Guest OS

VirtualBox and Hyper-V

While playing with Vagrant, VirtualBox, and MongoDB on my old ASUS ROG Generation 1 - which has Intel Q720 CPU and runs Windows 10 64-bit - I ran into this error.

VT-x is not available(VERR_VMX_NO_VMX).
VirtualBox error: Intel VT-x is not available

Also, VirtualBox list only 32-bit version for guest OS.

It is so weird because I can installed Ubuntu 64-bit as guest OS in VirtualBox while booting this laptop in Windows 7 64-bit.


I tried removing Hyper-V feature and reboot.


VirtualBox now display 64-bit version of guest OSes.


And Vagrant works too.

MSSQL: Fix error 'Consistency validation for SQL Server registry keys'

While installing Microsof SQL Server 2012, I ran into the following error. "The SQL Server registry keys from a prior installation cannot be modified. To continue, see SQL Server Setup documentation about how to fix registry keys." How to fix Replace the D:\x64\FixSqlRegistryKey_x86.exe file with the original file from the ENU\SQLFULL_ENU.iso file downloading from Microsoft Download Center. This ISO file is 4.2GB. So you can click FixSqlRegistryKey_x86.exe to download this file only. After replacing that file, press Re-run to check. All rules are passed.
