In Oracle VM Box, Go to Setting->General and set Version according to your HW specs. Also you may need to enable Virtualisation option from BIOS at system startup.

Genymotion requires 64-bit hardware for the newest Android kernels. You can run a 32-bit host OS if you want, but your hardware still has to be 64-bit. Here's a section of the download page pertaining to the current Windows system requirements:

System Requirements

  • Microsoft Windows 7, 8/8.1, 10 (32/64 bit)
  • 64 bit CPU, with VT-x or AMD-V capability, enabled in BIOS settings
  • Recent and dedicated GPU
  • 400 MB disk space
  • 2GB RAM
