Enable virtualization in BIOS

Virtualization may be necessary for those s who work with multiple emulators and / or virtual machines. Both can work fine without this option enabled, but if you need high performance when using an emulator, you will need to enable it.

Important warning

Initially, it is advisable to check if your computer has virtualization . If it doesn't, you risk wasting time trying to activate it through the BIOS. Many popular emulators and virtual machines advise the that their computer s virtualization, and if you enable this option, the system will run much faster.

If you don't get this message the first time you run any emulator / virtual machine, it could mean the following:

• Technology "Intel Virtualization Technology" it is already enabled by default in the BIOS (this is rare);
• The computer does not this configuration;
• The emulator cannot analyze and notify the of virtualization connectivity.

Enabling Virtualization on the Intel Processor

Use these step-by-step instructions to enable virtualization (only relevant for computers running an Intel processor):

1. Restart your computer and enter BIOS. Use the arrow keys F2 A F12 o Delete (the exact key depends on the version).
2. Now you have to go to "Advanced". It can also be called "Integrated Peripherals"..
3. In it, you have to go to "U configuration".
4. You will have to find the article "Intel Virtualization Technology". If this item is not present, it means that your computer does not virtualization.
5. If present, write down the value that corresponds to it. Must be "Enable". If there is a different value, select this item with the arrow keys and press I went into. A menu will appear in which you must select the correct value.
6. Now you can save the changes and exit the BIOS with the key «Save & Exit» or the keys F10.

Enabling Virtualization on the AMD Processor

The step-by-step instructions are similar in this case:

1. Enter the BIOS.
2. Ir a "Advanced"and from there to "U configuration".
3. There, notice the element «SVM mode». If there is a "Disabled"then you have to put "Enable" o "Car".. The value changes in the same way as in the previous statement.
