Not able to run Pega provided virtual machine file on virtual box
I have to import the LinuxLite_Pega242.ova file provided on Pega LSA 24.2 architecture mission on virtual box. I am using iMac with M4 chip and installed virtual box macOS/Apple silicon chip 7.1.10 version but on running imported virtual machine it gives error like - BOX_E_PLATFORM_ARCH_NOT_SUPPORTED (0x80bb0012).
On Virtual box side it explains it as -
"The error VBOX_E_PLATFORM_ARCH_NOT_SUPPORTED occurs because VirtualBox is unable to run an Intel-based virtual machine (VM) on an ARM-based architecture like the M3 chip. VirtualBox on M1 and M3 Macs only supports ARM-based VMs. To resolve this, you can either create a new VM with an ARM-compatible OS or try using QEMU, which allows virtualization across different architectures, including Intel-to-ARM migration."
How to fix this issue to configure ova on my iMac system for practice mission exercises?
Please confirm.
