Firstly, let's check if you have Virtualization on already. You can do so by opening Task Manager, then opening the performance tab.

If your Virtualization says it's disabled, then lets head to your BIOS to turn it on. If it is enabled, then you can go ahead and skip to the next step.

* To activate virtualization, kindly search on Google for "How to enable virtualization on \[your motherboard name]."&#x20;
* In case you're uncertain about your motherboard name, follow these steps: Open the Run dialog by pressing the Windows key + R, type "msinfo32," and press Enter.&#x20;
* The Windows System Information overview will appear, and you'll locate your motherboard information next to "Baseboard Manufacturer."
