Rocky 10 like RHEL10 only supports x86\_64-v3, therefore you need to configure the VM in VirtualBox to have hardware support for x86\_64-v3.

Some google searches on that: [Google Search](https://www.google.com/search?q=virtualbox+x86_64-v3)

Either that or your hardware underneath with the CPU exposed isn’t x86\_64-v3 compatible, and therefore VirtualBox reports the same and as such it will not be possible to use/install.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will check better, it is not easy becouse it is linked to how windows handle virtualization with virtual box, I will search.
