I have recently upgrade my HP 8300 Small Form Factor Desktop from WIndows 7 to Window 10. I need to access my system in BIOS and have had trouble do so. I need to acces my system BIOS in order to enable Intel VT-x so I can create a Virtual Ubuntu 12.04.5 using VMWare Workstation.
Here Is what I Know:
-My system does not have UEFI settings when I restart the computer while holding shift then go to "Trouble Shooting > Advance Options.
- Pressing Keys like esc, F1, F2,F9 - F12 do not take me to the BIOS. Instead they take me to the following menu;
------Esc: Start Up Menu
------F2: HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI
------F9: Please Select Boot Device Menu
------F10: Hewlett - Packard Computer Set Up
------F11: System Recovery
-My BIOS mode is Legacy according to my system info application.
- I have an Intel Core(TM) i5-3570 CPU running at 3.4 GHz
My questions are:
1. What course of action should I take to access MY BIOS to enable Intel VT-x? See the following image.
2. I'm considering flashing the system BIOS due to the Legacy BIOS mode. Am I wrong? Yes.
3. Is there any other way to enable Intel VT-x without accessing BIOS? No.
If anyone can help I will greatly appreciated. Thank You!
