To enable virtualization technology, you must first enter the BIOS settings. 1. Press F2, F10, or Del according to different brands of computers to enter the BIOS; 2. Turn off "Quick Start" to prevent the keys from being invalid; 3. Look for Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) or SVM Mode (AMD-V) options, usually located under the Advanced, CPU Configuration or Security menu; 4. Change the virtualization option from Disabled to Enabled; 5. Save and exit, and it will take effect after the system restarts; 6. You can confirm whether it is enabled successfully through the task manager or third-party tools. Pay attention to keyword prompts when operating, and try a few more times to complete the settings.

It is actually not difficult to enable virtualization technology in BIOS, but many people are prone to not finding options or misoperation when they first operate. The key is to find the correct settings after entering the BIOS and turn them on.

How to enter the BIOS

Different brands of computers enter the BIOS slightly different ways. The common method is to press one of the following keys when powering on:

• Lenovo, Dell, HP and other brands : usually F2, F10 or Del keys
• Asus motherboard : usually Del or F2
• Gigabyte motherboard : Del is commonly used
• MSI motherboard : Del or F2

After starting the computer, start pressing these keys immediately to enter the BIOS setting interface. Note: Some Windows systems are "Quick Boot" by default, which will cause you to not have time to press the keys. You can first turn off Quick Boot in the system and then restart it.

Find the virtualization settings options

After entering the BIOS, don't rush to save and exit. We need to find settings related to virtualization. Different motherboard manufacturers have slightly different names, and the common ones are:

• Intel processor : Intel Virtualization Technology or VT-x
• AMD processor : SVM Mode or AMD-V

This option is generally hidden in the following places:

• Advanced (Advanced Settings)
• CPU Configuration (CPU Configuration)
• Security (Security Options)

If you are not sure where, you can use the arrow keys to browse roughly in the BIOS interface and see keywords like "Virtualization", "VT-x", and "SVM".

Turn on virtualization and save

After finding the corresponding option, change it from Disabled Enabled . The operation method is usually:

• Use the arrow keys to select options
• Press Enter or space to switch states
• Find "Save and Exit" to save and exit

After exiting, the computer will automatically restart, and the virtualization function will be enabled. You can confirm whether it has been enabled successfully through Task Manager (Windows) or third-party tools (such as Core Isolation, detection software).

Basically that's it. The operation is not complicated, but it is easy to get stuck because the correct option is not found. Just remember a few keywords and try a few more times to get it done.
