mikie Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Most laptops I have used you have to manually enable Virtualization in the Bios settings to have all of those reading 'yes. It has many names in the bios settings - not all CPU's will support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
