Take a snapshot of your VM!  This will give you a restore point if anything fails!!! You already have a working 64-bit version of Windows 8 Consumer Preview installed on a 64 bit Host, with Hardware Virtualization Enabled. In the Virtual Machine Settings, make sure the VM is configured with 2D and 3D support, 128MB Video RAM or higher (Machine needs to be powered off to make these changes) Some report that adding a second virtual processor is recommended for performance reasons. Power on Virtual Machine running Windows 8 Consumer Preview 64-bit. Type MSCONFIG from the "Start" home screen, when it lists, run it. If you are not at the home screen, hit CTRL + ESC at the same time. Click the
