Virtualisation Technology in BIOS

[PollyD1]

I want to run Local by Flywheel to develop Wordpress in a local environment. Error says I must enable VT-x/AMD-v in Bios.  I have accessed this area and there is no Visualisation Technology option to enable under system configuration.  Please advise, thanks..

Hi,

Do you have an Intel or AMD processor?

It has an Intel Pentium CPU B960 @ 2.20 GHz

Hi,

The CPU does not support virtualization technology as we can see in the specs for the CPU:

Hope it helps,

Thanks but when I get to the System Configuration section in the BIOS Virtualization Technology is not on the list to either enable or disable. It's just not there.

It is not there because your processor does not support virtualization. So there is no option to enable or disable (as it is not possible).

Here's the options I have in the BIOS

I've been doing ongoing research into this and as the Processor was mentioned I checked this out.  Seems the Intel B960 doesn not support Virtualisation Technology.  New Laptop for Christmas now in order!! Here's some info fyi to those who kindly responded.
