I am trying to install Docker for Windows. During installation, I get this error:
An error occurred
Hardware assisted virtualization and data execution protection must be enabled in the BIOS. See https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/troubleshoot/#virtualization-must-be-enabled
The link directs me to use Task Manager to determine whether or not virtualization is enabled. It's not, of course!
How do I find the BIOS setting to enable virtualization?
I can enter the BIOS, but I have to search around an awful lot…

For certain BIOS versions like this one:
BIOS Version/Date: American Megatrends Inc. 3201, 12/27/2016
Restart the machine
During restart, press F2 or Delete to enter BIOS
Advanced --> CPU configuration --> Intel Virtualization Technology --> Enabled --> Exit --> Save Changes & Reset --> OK
Now I can install Docker!
