After clicking Finish, the following error message may appear:

The main reason for this error is that the commonly used software such as VMware are based on 32 bits. If you want to run a 64-bit system on it, you need to turn on the CPU virtualization! The Windows 7 64-bit operating system is turned off by default!

The solution is as follows:

The first thing to do is to check whether the CPU supports virtualization. You can use the CPU-Z software to check: If you see VT-X, it means that the CPU supports virtualization. The following figure shows that this computer supports virtualization;

If you do not see VT-X, it means virtualization is not supported and you cannot install a 64-bit system on a virtual machine. (You can choose to install 32-bit)

If the CPU supports virtualization, we need to enable this function. The method of enabling it is as follows:

(1) Enter BIOS (press F2 or Del, F12 or other shortcut keys when booting. For example, the computer below is a Lenovo Y430p notebook. Press F2 when booting to enter. The situation may be different for different computers.)

(2) Select "Configuration->Intel Virtual Technology" and set this option to "Enabled"

After making your selection, save and exit.

Of course, there are different versions of BIOS, and some options may be different. You can find similar ones yourself.

17. After the error is eliminated, reopen VMware and reopen Ubuntu;

After opening, the following prompt may appear, click "Cancel Update", then click "Close":

The following prompt may appear, just click "OK":

18. After completing the above steps, the next step is to install the system. This process is relatively long and takes about half an hour. The specific time depends on the performance of the computer.

19. After a long wait, the installation is completed, as shown below:

After entering the password you set previously, you can enter the Ubuntu interface, as shown below:
