Hi Wilfried Junior Njia Ndzebe,

Thanks for your post. If Intel Virtualization Technology & intel vt-x with extended page tables enabled, still you have issue to deploy ESXi or VMware vCenter Server then below are the work arounds steps to disable HYPER-V.

1. Open windows PowerShell run as administrator and execute bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off and
2. DISM /Online /Disable-Feature: Microsoft-Hyper-V
3. Open Windows Security -> Device Security -> Core Isolation and make sure Memory Integrity is “Off”
4. Reboot the machine and run the systeminfo command in command prompt. In output at Hyper-V Requirements:  below options as YESvm: monitor mode extensions, virtualization enabled in firmware, second level address translation and data execution prevention available
5. Incase still you can’t find those options, just check your hardware (laptop or desktop) whether it contains default operating system or BUILD YOUR OWN laptop model (example: Lenovo).
6. By design BUILD YOUR OWN laptop model (example: Lenovo) won’t support Intel Virtualization Technology & intel vt-x with extended page tables features. Only option in such cases re-install operating system, since it is running on customized operating system.

Best Regards,
