Hi everyone!

At work I've been given a new PC (see title). I sometimes need to use virtualization, like Bluestacks or VM in general, which requires virtualization to be enabled to improve performance.

I've tried looking for virtualization option in the BIOS, but there's nothing, even after I updated it to the latest version.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the HP Support Community @Adhrast

 

Your specs say that you have an AMD processor:

Does My Processor Support Intel® Virtualization Technology?

Thanks for your answer @RE051ST !

Though the processor is AMD and not Intel, the A8 pro 7600B should support virtualization, I just can't find the option to enable it in the BIOS.

The only thing I can think of is to update your BIOS and then see if the option appears in the BIOS after that.

As I stated in the OP, though, I've already updated the BIOS to the latest version (which is the one you linked), but still nothing.

Thanks anyway 🙂

Was just trying to make sure it was the latest.

 

Well then looks like you would need a different system to run VTx or AMDx

 

Good luck,
