Virtualization

Our products require hardware virtualization to be enabled in your BIOS settings. This is typically disabled by default on many systems.

If you prefer a visual walkthrough, you can watch this video — but keep in mind that your BIOS layout may look different depending on your system.

🔍 How to Check if Virtualization Is Enabled

Before diving into BIOS, you can quickly check if your CPU supports and has virtualization enabled right inside Windows.

🧭 Steps:

1. Right-click the taskbar and open Task Manager (or press Ctrl + Shift + Esc)

2. Go to the Performance tab

3. Click on CPU in the left sidebar

4. Look in the bottom-right area for "Virtualization"

If it says Enabled, you're good. If it says Disabled, you'll need to enable it in your BIOS.

🔍 Notes

• The setting might not be labeled "Virtualization" directly.

• On many systems, SVM (AMD) or VT-x (Intel) are under a submenu like Advanced > CPU Settings.
