In my system BIOS virtualization option is missing. After research found that my system doesn't support virtualization.
Laptop model : HP DV6-1152TX Processor : Processor type – Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T6400 * 2.0 GHz, 2 MB L2 Cache, 800 MHz FSB BIOS version : F.25 Operating System : Windows 8.1 pro 64 bit
Please let me know best way to resolve this issue? If I have to change the CPU what are the specifications I need to consider? Does virtualization is essential for Cloudera Quickstart VM. Is there some way one can use Cloudera Quickstart VM without using virtualization or upgrading BIOS and CPU.
Thanks,

Your CPU does not support virtualisation. To get virtualisation to work you would need to replace it with a CPU which supprts VT-x, which works in your laptop (not quite trivial!) and your motherboard firmware (EFI or BIOS) will also need to support it.
Practical solution: A new laptop.
