hello,
i was trying to upgrade a win 7 32bit vm to win 8.1 rtm 32bit in fusion 6.0.0.
running the setup from within windows, after asking for updates, i get the following error:
"This PC can't run Windows 8.1"
"(X) You can't install Windows 8.1 because your processor doesn't support NX."
however, if i do a fresh install of windows 8.1 (booting from the same setup iso) using the fusion "add vm wizzard", everything works flawlessly.
i already tried everything i could come up with: using the .vmx file of the fresh install and preserving only the vmdk, trying to enable processor options in fusion, accessing the bios of the vm (there is no option for NX there)...
has someone been successful with such an upgrade? didn't find much in google about my issue.
best regards,
oskar
