At least some of the processors used in that rather old range do not support VT-x. Look up the processor you have at Intel's Product Specifications site. If there's no VT-x support in your processor, that's the end of the matter.
Even if your processor supports VT-x, there's no guarantee the BIOS does. If you have a VT-x capable processor, check you have the latest available BIOS installed.
A system as old as yours is unlikely to make a good virtualisation platform. You really want a system with support for VT-x with Extended Page Tables at a minimum, and VT-d support is normally also worth having.
Be alert for scammers posting fake support phone numbers and/or email addresses on the community.
