That's an issue with your system, not TailsOS. You need to disable hardware acceleration in the virtual machine's settings (switch to tab "System" and uncheck hw acceleration), because your PC doesn't support it (more likely, it's disabled in your BIOS)

Good day everyone, I am currently trying to install Tail OS on virtual box but I have seem to run into a little problem. I will post a screenshot of it down below for references.

 

I have downloaded the latest iso file for a virtual machine from the official Tails website.

I have also downloaded the latest version of virtualbox.

 

I am totally new to this, so I seek for the community's expertise on this, thanks.
