i am using windows as an os and have downloaded kali linux.iso file to run in my virtual machine but it is not working, i have watched numerous tutorials online but non of them have worked for me. Anyone know what to do?
You shouldn’t be using the regular iso, you can download a ready to go virtual machine file. Have a look at the Download Kali Linux VMware, VirtualBox and ARM images of the officiam dowload page, here: https://www.kali.org/downloads/
And because the iso is an installation medium, you can use it to install Kali in a virtual machine, but you will have trouble with drivers. It completly possible to setup a Kali VM from the iso…
But Virtualizers have a virtual machine file format, such as .ova files for Virtualbox, which contains a virtual machine fully configured with its hard drive etc…
And because Offensive Security knows that a lot of users prefer to run Kali as a VM, they provide such files.

i cannot post a picture and its a install menu on how i want to install kali
I’m with WHGhost, one of the most important things that aren’t shown in tutorials is activate Intel/AMD virtualization, it took me two months to realize it
Hi
For virtual images go here: https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-vmware-virtualbox-image-download/ and select what virtualization software you have and select the corresponding 64bit link. Once it is downloaded execute it.
However if you insist on installing form an ISO perhaps try Virtual box instead https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and use this guide it also helps with guest additions.
You are not looking for an emulator, but for a virtualizer, like Virtualbox or VMWare. I personnaly use Virtualbox, but the choice is your.
-Virtualbox: easy to use, open source and free
-VMWare workstation: Has a free and a payed version
You should choose the one you prefer from what you can find online, but I think the first two are the best options for an everyday use. Other more complex virtualizers exists, such as qemu, but are more server class and may not be what you are looking for.
Virtualbox is included on almost every linux repo, or can be downloaded from virtualbox.org
VMware is available from vmware.com
Both of these tools will need Intel VT/AMD-V to be enabled to run 64bits systems.
You don’t need any of these tools if you wish to install Kali directly on you computer, but I discourage you to do so if you had never had any experience with Linux and Os installation in general.
Once your virtualizer is installed on your host computer, installing Kali is as simple as downloading the VM image from Offensive security sites, here: https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-vmware-virtualbox-image-download/ , and restoring it.
hi friends me to i have problem with virtualbox but i think exectely with bios because he said tha “ this kernel requires an x86-64 CPU but only detected only i686 CPU ” . i found in forumes i shoud unable the virtualization featur but i can’t find it in my bios this’s motherboard’s information : fabrication MSI
bios version 32.4 please help me & thankx friends
I had the same problem +ag47 and i could resolve without changing the Bios. All you need is update the version, check your ISO if it isn’t corrupted and try, before start the ISO in VirtualBox click the arrow put the bottom: mount in safe mode, or something similar.
