For Windows 7, the default network card is 'Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop'. My guess is that in the recipe that you 'translated' from VMWare the NIC selected was not the optimal. Really, check things more thoroughly before stating otherwise. My system is a Compaq laptop with an AMD 64 Athlon X2. The default selection for the network cards is such that the guest OS has support for it. If you dont see it in your BIOS, you mainboard doesnt support it, thus you cant run 64 bit Guests.

But it is very strange because I always installed various virtual machines on the same host with operating systems with ISO modified by me and only that of Windows 7 does not work.

So, I want to enable Virtualization in the BIOS to get VirtualBox working on my Windows 10 PC.
I installed Windows XP (no service pack) without any problems. This is a weird problem to describe as I am not getting any specific error messages.
