I have installed VMWare 10.0 workstation on my Compaq CQ60-615DX laptop. The Operating System is Windows 7 Home Premium.

When I tried to run Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit in a virtual machine in VMWare I get an error saying:

This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not possible.

This host does not support Intel VT-x.

For more detailed information, see http://vmware.com/info?id=152.

So I googled and found that I have to enable Intel VT-x. But I found out that my processor doesn't support Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x).

So am I doomed and can I never run any virtual OS on my laptop? Or can I run 32-bit OSes?

    Indeed. What you want is not possible with the hardware you have.

You can only run 32-bit OSes without having Intel VT-x enabled when using VMWare. You can try the Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit version.
