kvmvirtualization

I have installed kvm in ubuntu16.04 OS. WHen I am executing following command:

kvm-ok

I am getting following error:

INFO: /dev/kvm does not exist
HINT:   sudo modprobe kvm_intel
INFO: Your CPU supports KVM extensions
INFO: KVM (vmx) is disabled by your BIOS
HINT: Enter your BIOS setup and enable Virtualization Technology (VT),
  and then hard poweroff/poweron your system
KVM acceleration can NOT be used

This question already been asked : /dev/kvm is not found on Ubuntu 14.04

But, doesn't solved my issue. It was mentioned like I need change BIOS settings. If so, how can I change that in my ubuntu 16.04 OS?

It has nothing to do with Ubuntu. You need to restart the computer and enter into your BIOS settings. How to enter and where to find this setting depends on your hardware, it is usually pressing F12 or Del or Ins during the hardware start, consult your hardware User's Guide
