You must have a Hardware Virtualization Technology (VT) computer.
Make sure your computer support Hardware Virtualization Technology.
All latest processors and motherboards support virtualization technology, check your motherboard vendor about this support and how to enable or disable VT in BIOS. Operating system detects the hardware virtualization technology once it’s enabled on your motherboard
Download Intel tool to confirm virtualization technology
The result of this utility brings a screen as shown below,
2) For AMD Processors download the below utility.
3) Microsoft Tool to check hardware virtualization Technology ( VT)
Download the free tool from Microsoft here.
Installation not required, when execute the EXE file, following result appears.
