Hello, If you wish to install a Virtualization platform, generally your processor should support Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x). EliteBook 2560p includes one of these processors: Intel® Core™ i7-2640M (2.80 GHz, 4 MB L3 cache) Intel® Core™ i7-2620M (2.70 GHz, 4 MB L3 cache) Intel® Core™ i5-2540M (2.60 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache) Intel® Core™ i5-2520M (2.50 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache) Intel® Core™ i5-2450M (2.50 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache) Intel® Core™ i5-2410M (2.30 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache) All the processors support Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x) and except last two, others support Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) (device virtuallization which you do not need to worry about right now). 1. Reboot the notebook. 2. Instantly press F10 to enter bios. 3. Check the settings and look for Intel Virtualization Technology (Aliases: Intel VT-x). 4. Turn is on and save and exit. You could use F10 to save and exit. If you have a doubt, you can install CPU-Z to check the availability. Source: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html Look for Intel VT-x Thank you!

Hello,

How can I enable VT on Elitebook 2560p using a script?  The HP utility does not work on the Elitebooks.

The BIOS has vt at not in security but in device management. when vt is enabled hypervisorlaunchtype need to be off.
