How do I enable the Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) in the BIOS utility?

I was trying to install W7 PRO-64bit in VMWare.
But it gave me the error that VT (Virtualization Technology) is not enabled in the BIOS.

Follow the link below for Sony vaio laptops to enable VT in the bios:

Like they mentioned in the lower link "Not all VAIO computers support Intel VT. "

I assume you know if the CPU supporting virtualization, if it has this then it must be a bugg in VMWare or something that prevent it from cooperate.

Is it possible to enable or disable it in bios or is it just grey?

By Default virtualization is disabled. You can follow the instructions in the link from the post above & enable it in the BIOS.

Ahh I see:ranger: It's already solved.
Myself I'm running an Intel P4 and one Intel Core duo without this feature so can't use it.

Thanks anyway:wave:

1st step is to see if your CPU supports virtualization or not.

2 ways to do that: lookup the specs on your CPU or use an app that tells you, for instance Everest Ultimate 5.4 does this (haven't checked, but I think Speccy by Piriform, the CCleaner folks, does this too)

One of my machines supports it (Core2 Duo E6400) and the other doesn't (Core2 Duo E4700). So no running VirtualBox on my HTPC.

Secondly, enable it in BIOS.

D'oh!! It doesn't show up in Speccy. :-_-:

So... Everest Ultimate 4.6 then (if you grabbed a license during one of the several promos during the past year or so) under

Motherboard | CPUID | CPUID Features.

There's a long list but I see 2 that are what we are looking for. And for Win7 XP Mode, "Vanderpool" must be supported:

• Secure Virtual Machine Extensions (Pacifica)
• Virtual Machine Extensions (Vanderpool)
  

The answers for my Core2 Duos are:

• E4700 --> No, NO :-_-:
• E6300 --> No, YES :dance:

OR check out two hits from a search for "which intel cpu support virtualization":

• HERE &
• HERE

and (google autotranslated Intel page): HERE

NOTE: However, Speccy will positively ID your CPU for you.
