see i have a windows 10 computer and when iv tried enabling virtualization before in bios my computer wouldnt work properly so i have to keep it disabled

will i be able to still install windows with the iso i have and run it on virtualbox without enabling virutalization?

and if so could you please explain how to do so

or if newer virtualbox is incapable of running with virtualization enabled then how do you run an older version of virtualbox on a windows 10 computer without my computer blocking it for being an older version

see i have two computers a windows 11 and a windows 10 but i recently discovered my windows 11 doesnt have a optical drive to put in my cd rom

so even thou i was able to get windows running on virtualbox with the fact my windows 11 can have virtualization enabled which it does automatically it does not a optical drive to put a cd in

and while my windows 10 does have a optical drive for cd roms it does not have the ability to enable virtualization without causing my computer to be unfunctional

so i either need a way to run windows without virtualization on virtualbox 7.0

or i need a way to install an older version of virtualbox without my windows 10 computer blocking it due to it being an older version
 
I dont suppose you have a solution on how i can figure out why my windows 10 computer wont work with virtualization enabled in bios?

awhile back i tried using docker which requires virtualization and so i went into the bios to enable it

but my computer wouldnt function

i dont know if its my mother board causing the issue or my cpu or i dont think any other of my hardware components could be responcible so yeah id say just the two of them
 
or is there a way to sucessfully run older versions of virtualbox on my windows 10 computer?

for some reason i can install the latest virtualbox but i cant install its previous version my computer wont let me

and even after if i sucessfully bypass that and installed an older virtualbox it wont open no matter if i run as adminstrator or double click multiple times

or even use compatability mode
