hyper-vwindows-phone-8

When I run Windows Phone 8 emulator first time this error is shown

Can't Start Windows Phone Emulator

enter image description here

My system is a Lenovo, with an Intel Core i5-3470s running on Win 8 Enterprise. SLAT Status check shows following:

You have a SLAT capable machine, but hardware virtualization is disabled at BIOS level, so please enable it.

CoreInfo shows:

  • AMD A10-4600M APU with Radeon HD Graphics
  • AMD64 Family 21 Model 16 Stepping 1, Authentic AMD HYPERVISOR
  • – Hypervisor is present SVM
  • * Supports AMD hardware-assisted virtualization NP
  • * Supports AMD nested page tables (SLAT)
  • (- indicates not present, * indicates present)

How do I enable hardware virtualization? I find nothing in the bios to enable SLAT.

As mentioned in this MSDN article

To enable BIOS settings required by Hyper-V

  • Restart your computer and press the key required to enter the BIOS settings.

    You can view and change your computer’s BIOS settings by pressing a specific key during computer startup. The key to press varies depending on the manufacturer. It is typically a special key such as Del or a function key such as F2 or F10.
