enabling Hyper-V

[RehabBreach]

Hi all

I am trying to install Kali Linux on a Virtual Box VM, I can not install Kali as Hyper-V is required, I have checked on system and my processor states it is Hyper-V and needs to be turned on in the BIOS.

I have booted into BIOS and their isnt an option to enable Virtulization.

Is this Laptop able to run the proessor in Hyper-V?

Do I need a BIOS update to do so or are there other settings I need to get to in the BIOS?

Is this laptop not able to run in Hyper-V?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hello @RehabBreach

I your bios, There should be an option under System Configuration for Virtualiztion Technology.

If it is not there, then your systems bios is limited on its feature set and cannot offer it.

You could make sure the bios is up to date and see if it gets added. It may or may not help.

Hello @Photoray002

Thank you for your speedy response, I have downloaded latest BIOS, will get updated and report back.

The options you mention are not listed in the BIOS.

Thanks again.
