Virtualization Technology (VT) is the most effective feature when it comes to virtualization. Which enhances and optimizes virtual machines with hardware virtualization features. This feature provides specific supervision and support to the virtual machines in order to minimize virtualization overloads whether in memory, cache, I/O. However, most recent processors include hardware virtualization feature which is often disabled by default. The reason for the disabling is not pretty obvious, but that can be due to not to be used by malicious code for some security reasons. With that said, there are always some ways to enable it. Here’s how to enable Intel VT-x or AMD-V On BIOS or UEFI Firmware.

In this case, if you want to run and work with virtual machines, you will need to switch and enable Intel VT-x in your computer. These features are already integrated into Intel or AMD CPUs and are ready to work. With those, if you have previously worked with virtual machines, you might have encountered with errors indicating disabled VT-x or virtualization features or something similar to that. Those errors appear mostly for the disabled virtualization feature and if it’s enabled, then, there might be some different problem such as Hyper-v installed. See the article on how to disable it.

This happens mostly with Intel CPUs, which is often disabled by default. On an AMD CPU, this feature is always enabled by default so there’s no BIOS or UEFI firmware. If you have a system with Intel CPU, this feature is often disabled which might be the reason for the errors. Here’s how to fix things up, so let’s get started. How to Enable Intel VT-x or AMD-V On BIOS or UEFI Firmware.

Turn on Intel VT-x From Your Computer’s BIOS

If you have a recent system with an Intel CPU, you are probably good to have this feature. In order to enable, you will need to access your system’s BIOS or UEFI as different PCs have different settings like older PCs has UEFI, while most modern PCs have BIOS. So, if your PC has BIOS, you will need to reach out to the BIOS settings and enable the feature from there. How to Enable Intel VT-x or AMD-V On BIOS or UEFI Firmware

On Intel systems with BIOS, save your work and restart the PC. When the first screen appeared at startup, press the BIOS key (which will appear at the screen). For most computers, the BIOS key is “Del” for delete button or “F2” key as your screen shows like “Press Del key to enter setup”. This is easy.

If you didn’t find that, you can search and get into a few options which may seem that the option may be there.

Once you find that option, enable the option and select Save Exit to save the changes.
