BIOS / UEFI cannot set virtualization to enabled

[Bernd411]

Hi everyone, I want to set the virtualizaton to enabled because I want a Phone emulation for Android. I have found the

UEFI Firmware, but I don't find where to change the virtualization. How can I reach the ancient Intel-F10-Bios-Setup or what else is to do? Thanks in advance

Press Esc and then F10 during startup and in the security tab you should find it

Hello

 I don't remember a ProDesk 300 G3 DM, in any case F10 is still the key to press to enter in BIOS Setting and you should find VT option somewhere.

you can download HP BIOS Config Utility and read the whoe BIOS setting and check on notepad what you are looking for.

example, from CMD :

biosconfigutility.exe /get:bios_setting.txt

then open bios_setting.txt with notepad

you can download BiosCOnfigUtility from this HP page:

bye

Just that doesn't work. The machine starts directly with user-login. There is no chance to get into BIOS-Setup previous Windows starts. Sorry, I have tried a lot, only from system recovery a can get a BIOS/UEFI Firmware entry.

Press&hold Shift and then on Start and Reboot and you get access. 

You can disable Fast Boot in BIOS so that you can use the above mentioned method.

OR

If you are still not getting to where you want

Start tapping the Esc key BEFORE starting the PC and then press the start button.
Keep tapping the Esc key until a popup menu shows. Then pick Setup from that popup menu, F10.
Report back with the results if this fails.

@TheOldMan (and others) I get  to the BIOS-Setup-Menu this way or from windows too. However a firmware solution of HP is shown instead of the well known Intel-Menu (F10). And there is no posssibility to change the virtualization. Guess I can forget it.

Make screenshot because nobody knows what you see.

Hi all. One night sleeping and trying again in the morming helps. I have found it using the HP-BIOS-Menu. VT-x is set to enabled now. Thanks all for your friendly assistance.

Bye

@VH2000 A screenshot isn't required any more.
