Hello community, my name is Marcel and I am a beginner in networking and telecommunications. In fact, I am having a problem with the installation of "Oracle VirtualBox" on my Windows 10 32-bit; this is regardless of the version of Oracle VirtualBox that I want to install.
The error message is: * 32-bit Windows hosts are not supported by this VirtualBox release *.
It has nothing to do with my antivirus restrictions as I have disabled them all! Can I please have a solution from you as I am now overwhelmed by this reality? Thank you in advance for all your suggestions
And take care!

Hello,
64-bit (x64) hosts are no longer supported since the new version 6.0 (as indicated on the download page of the VirtualBox site).
=> If you're looking for the latest VirtualBox 5.2 packages, see VirtualBox 5.2 builds. Please also use version 5.2 if you still need support for 32-bit hosts, as this has been discontinued in 6.0. Version 5.2 will remain supported until July 2020.
In your case, you will therefore need to download version 5.2 of VirtualBox from this (official) page: Download VirtualBox (Old Builds): VirtualBox 5.2
Direct links for Windows (5.2.26): Installer + Extension pack

"64-bit (x64) hosts are no longer supported since the new version 6.0 (as stated on the download page of the VirtualBox website)."
Little mistake or confusion: VirtualBox 6 is now only for 64-bit systems and incompatible with 32-bit. ;-)
However, yes, for Sunshine, it's indeed version 5.2 that is needed since it is compatible with 32-bit.
