HP ProBook 4730s
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello, i have a problem with notebook hp probook 4730s

Can't start virtual machine in VMWare and VirtualBox.

I switched on virtualization setting in bios, but seems that this not start virtualization in windows. Can it be because of this notebook model not support that OS? can i fix this with some of driver version or with some other actions?

What is the installed processor?

 

If it is a Pentium B9x0  or B8x0 series, it will not support any of Intel's Advanced technologies, including Hyperthreading and Virtualization

The BIOS and processor support virtualization.

 

When you put the tick in the Virtualization tech box, did you press the F10 key to exit and save the change?

 

Is this your first time attempt in using VirtualBox or any other virtualization program?

You may have made mistakes in configuring the Virtualazition program.

 

I suggest that you uninstall and then restart your notebook and then reinstall your virtualization program.  Delete the Virtual devices as well.

 

Download a prebuilt VM to test the installation.
