I need help in unlocking my Dell Vostro 220 hardware virtualization.
I ran SecurAble and it gave me the results below:
64-bit Maximum Word Length
Hardware D.E.P — YES
Hardware Virtualization — Locked Off
My Processor is the Intel Dual Core E5200 @ 2.5 GHz. I want to have the hardware virtualization ON for improved virtualization by VMWare, VirtualBox, etc.
Can anyone help me safely achieve this?
Motherboard Manufacturer and Model, Dell — Dont know much, but in the CMOS Setup it said on the Top:

How do I unlock my BIOS so that I can access the VHD settings that I can't seem to find?
Best Answer
Your processor doesn't support VT-x instructions, as per Intel. So it doesn't have Hardware Virtualization support.
