Windows – Validate CPU virtualization support on Windows 7

cpuvirtualizationwindows 7

On Windows 7 hosts, how do I validate that CPU virtualization support such as AMD-V or VT-x is enabled without rebooting the machine and installing additional or third-party software. In that case, these drop out:

  • BIOS settings
  • VirtualBox, VMware …
  • Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Detection Tool by Microsoft

Best Answer

There is no native way to get the information about CPU support for vitualization in Windows 7 including WMIC.

You ask for a non third party software and no installation (and no rebooting). Does MS Technet Sysinternals Coreinfo is acceptable for you?
