Virtualization BIOS setting Windows 10

5

2

So, I want to enable Virtualization in the BIOS to get VirtualBox working on my Windows 10 PC.

I successfully made it into the BIOS, from the Settings app. On Youtube tutorials on how to change the visualization setting, it is made for Windows 8, and the person goes into Advanced Settings.

I cannot find that option. Anywhere.

How possibly can I enable visualization on my Windows 10?

Umm... you mean "Virtualization"? – psusi – 2015-10-24T19:29:18.060

Um. It said so on every site I visited that had the same problem as me. To enable Virtualization on BIOS. I basically have VirtualBox, running on a 64-bit OS, but I can't see any 64-bit options, only 32-bit. – FoxInFlame – 2015-10-24T19:31:07.070

I think he’s referring to your typo (of sorts) throughout the post. :D – Daniel B – 2015-10-24T19:32:25.267

I think I spelt everything right...? – FoxInFlame – 2015-10-24T19:33:45.623

You said visualization, not virtualization – psusi – 2015-10-24T19:37:44.357

The option is called “AMD SVM Support”. SVM (Secure Virtual Machine) is AMD’s take on Intel’s VT-x.

Wasn't it called AMD-x? – FoxInFlame – 2015-10-24T19:30:04.627

Nope, there is no such thing. – Daniel B – 2015-10-24T19:31:27.250

Alright. As you say, boss. Ain't gonna argue. As for the problem, your solution solved it, just took me ages to master the controls, "Arrows", "Enter", "Esc", and stuff. Thank you anyway! – FoxInFlame – 2015-10-24T19:33:20.120

Go into Windows Control Panel (search for Control Panel in toolbar if you can't find it), and select programs. Then select Turn Windows features on and off.

Make sure Hyper V is turned OFF (blank) and reboot if needed.

Windows 10 by default enables Hyper-V, which blocks any other 64bit virtualization.

ps - if you want to get two cores running, set memory in virtualbox, and set key ports forwarded add this to your virtualbox file

# Customize the amount of memory on the VM:
  vb.memory = "3000"
  vb.cpus = "2"
end

config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 3306, host: 3306
config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 9000, host: 9000
