This page will help you to turn on virtualization in BIOS.
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.
Virtualization for Intel Users:
Once in your BIOS settings, head over to the advanced tab and select CPU configuration.
From there, go to Intel Virtualization Technology, and enable it. Your BIOS settings may differ depending on your manufacturer. Do not exit BIOS, as the next step requires you to be in it.
Virtualization for AMD Users:
Once in your BIOS settings, head over to the advanced tab and select CPU configuration.
From there, go to SVM Mode, and enable it. Your BIOS settings may differ depending on your manufacturer. Do not exit BIOS, as the next step requires you to be in it.
This page explains how to disable Secure Boot.
Find the Secure Boot setting in your BIOS menu. If possible, set it to Disabled. This option is usually in either the Security tab, the Boot tab, or the Authentication tab.
Save changes and exit. The PC reboots.
In some cases, you may need to change other settings in the firmware, such as enabling a Compatibility Support Module (CSM) to support legacy BIOS operating systems. To use a CSM, you may also need to reformat the hard drive using the Master Boot Record (MBR) format, and then reinstall Windows. For more info, see Windows Setup: Installing using the MBR or GPT partition style.
