BIOS settings

To operate with a type 2 hypervisor, a computer's CPU (processor) must support hardware virtualization in the first place, which is the case for most of modern CPUs. That said, it may be required to enable the according option within the computer's BIOS, mostly within the „Advanced BIOS Features“ section or similar. The according option to enable is typically called one of the following:

  • Intel VT-x
  • AMD VT
  • Virtualization
  • VT
  • Vanderpool Technology
  • Virtualization Technology
  • VMX
  • Virtual Machine Extensions
