I need SLAT support to use Windows Phone 8 Emulator on my PC, and so I need to buy a new laptop to get it running.
I've searched for Intel, and found that all i3 - 5 - 7 series support SLAT. I've also found a laptop with Intel Core i5 3210M, and searched specifically if this CPU supports SLAT (EPT). I'm told yes, virtualization is supported.
Finally I bought this laptop, but it seems it doesn't have SLAT support - at least by looking at "coreinfo" program output. I can't enable HYPER-V feature - I'm getting an message saying that "your CPU does not support this feature". (I'm using Windows 8 Enterprise 64 bit which is greater than PRO).
I've also looked at my BIOS config, but couldn't find any setting to enable or disable these features. (My bios seem to be very incomprehensive.)
So is there any possibility that in laptop factory, engineers said "lets do not put SLAT support for this laptop, I'm a little bit tired, and wanna go home"?
What should I do? A BIOS update?
Here is my laptop specs. That may be relevant for SLAT(EPT):
- Intel Core i5 3210M - 2.5 GHz
- Windows 8 Enterprise 64 bit
- Packard Bell Easynote TE11 - HC - 604TK
According to all checks made on internet;
- Checked Intel's web page and seems SUPPORTED
- Used a tool which is given on Microsoft's page made by a software team, seems SUPPORTED
- Used a tool of Intel and seems, SUPPORTED
Except;
- Coreinfo says there is no support
I think it raises from BIOS specifications, but I dont have some kind of professional BIOS, my BIOS was programmed for dummies to switch simple things, not more.
Any advises? is there any professional BIOS to embed into my BIOS chip?
What says "coreinfo -v" ? BTW, take a look: http://stackoverflow.com/a/14170039/1758762 I'm surprised, i5 looks very good
