I installed VirtualBox in a windows Lenovo laptop, as a first step for a full migration to Arch.
I downloaded the Arch ISO image, configured a new Virtual machine (UEFI), and started it to go through the installation process.
Arch ISO does not start getting stuck in the UEFI shell in the UEFI shell.
I have read the Wiki indications (Virtualbox: Installation in EFI mode), and read some similar forum posts, but everything seems correct, there is already a correct EFI image in /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI
This is the situation:
1. My virtualbox configuration

3. I have however an EFI File available

4. This is a dump of the boot Configuration

I could go to a standard BIOS installation, however I think this is a good opportunity to get familiar with UEFI. Can someone point me what is happening?, unfortunately there are not low level information around UEFI.
thanks in advanced

Arch in VirtualBox with UEFI works for me.
I notice that you lack the "64" in your Arch VM icon. Did you set the OS correctly when creating the VM? It should be "Arch Linux (64-bit)".

Thank you, it was exactly what your suggested, and the issue has been solved in 12 minutes.
The Lenovo laptop has by default the Virtualization disabled in the BIOS. After enabling it, I could select a 64bits machine and now the Arch ISO boots in EFI mode.
