HOW TO ENABLE VIRTUALIZATION (VT-x/AMD-v) IN YOUR BIOS SETTINGS By Lenny Parker
Why Stack Overflow recommends it
Stack Overflow users link it when an emulator, Docker machine, Genymotion or Vagrant VM fails because VT-x is disabled in the BIOS and they need a visual guide to turn it on.

What it is
A short 2014 screen-and-camera walkthrough showing how to enter a PC's BIOS and switch on hardware virtualization (VT-x / AMD-V) so VirtualBox and other virtual machines can run. The presenter, Lenny Parker, also mentions a VMware Workstation workaround for machines that lack virtualization support.

This [this video] is a really good video showing how to enable virtualization in Bios. I'm not sure why, but if you're using the Intel Processor Identification Utility, it says that virtualization is enabled, but that really only indicates that your computer supports virtualization, not that it's actually enabled. Once you've enabled VT-x in the Bios, you should be able to install HAXM and run your emulator much more quickly!

You've got the VT-x is disabled in the BIOS. Here you have a tutorial [LINK] to enable it. I also provide you a video-tutorial [this video] just in case you need more graphical explanation.

First you need to ensure you have enabled Virtualization for your machine. You have to do that in the BIOS of your computer. The link below has a nice video on how to do that, but there are others as well if you google it: [this video] Then you have to stop the docker machine (i.e. the VirtualBox vm) and change the CPU configuration in VirtualBox. To list the name of your docker machine (it is usually default ) run: docker-machine ls Then stop the docker machine: docker-machine stop <machine name> Next open VirtualBox UI and change the number of CPUs: Select the docker virtual machine (should be marked as Powered off) Click Settings->Systems->Processors Change the number of CPUs Click OK to save

Open your vagrantfile using notepad and edit it so that it looks like this: [LINK] Please tally your vagrantfile with this one word by word. Then open BIOS and turn on virtualisation. Watch this video [this video] to learn how to do it. It is a very short video. PS: You may need to uninstall vagrant before doing this. And in your Users folder in C:, there will be a folder named .vagrant.d, please delete that as well before following these steps. Uninstalling vagrant will require that you run your machine as administrator. You can right click on Command Prompt (search cmd in windows search box) and click run as administrator. Type the following command: net user administrator /active:yes You will
