How to enable Virtualization technology

Hello Wandytom,

thank you for providing this question.

I am a seasoned Windows expert with almost a decade in usage and support experience and hope to resolve your problems quickly.

Not every board/cpu brings additional virtualization options in UEFI/BIOS. If you dont see any maybe there arent any.

I assume you rather want to activate the Windows hypervisor Hyper-V

To activate it search for features in start and select "activate Windows features".

Here look for Hyper-V and check it. This will require a reboot and some time to install.

If you consider your problem solved it would be very good if you marked the answer which helped you so others can find and use this thread.

If this didn't solve your problem or you need further assistance please answer in this thread and i would be happy to help.

kind regards

Please how do I access UEFI firmware settings on my HP Pavilion dv6500?

I have tried the following:

*I used F10 to access the setup but I can't find "advanced tab" or anywhere to enable my "Virtualization Technology"

*I also went to Start>>>Settings>>>Update & Security>>>Recovery>>>Restart now

After the restart, I went to Troubleshoot>>>Advanced Option. But after clicking the advanced option tab, I could not find the "UEFI Firmware"

Can anyone assist please?

Well, finally I installed the software "Intel Processor Identification Utility" and I discovered my PC is not compatible with "Virtual Technology", kindly see attached

@Eberwurz, thanks for your support so far

Thanks for the feedback but I'm yet to get solution to this issue

My intention is to be able to use "Oracle VM VirtualBox" but each time I start it, it keeps giving the error message, "VT-x is not available" and that's why I need to enable "virtualization technology" on my PC

I also turned "Virtual Machine Platform" on from Windows Features and rebooted my PC but all to no avail

I would appreciate if I can get further support

I also used the systeminfo.exe command to check the status of the Virtualization technology as attached

Thanks
