    <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you, it's not easy to activate VT-x for people unfamiliar with computers skills.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Up to now, I think Virtual box 5.2 version without virtualization codes is best choice.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>How to run Vmware Workstation 16 host in Windows7 without Intel VT-x?</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have a&amp;nbsp;Vmware Workstation 16 host and copy it to a&amp;nbsp;Windows 7 without Intel VT-x hardware support PC, and try to run it with&amp;nbsp;Vmware player 12.0.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But it shows "&lt;SPAN&gt;This host does not support Intel VT-x.&lt;/SPAN&gt;" and can't run.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So I have two questions:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;OL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;How to run a&amp;nbsp;Vmware Workstation 16 host in Windows 7 without Intel VT-x hardware support PC?&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;How to build a&amp;nbsp;Windows 7 system in&amp;nbsp;Vmware Workstation 16 and the&amp;nbsp;Windows 7 system doesn't depend any&amp;nbsp;Virtualization like&amp;nbsp;VT-x etc. (just like VirtualBox 5.0 doesn't support Virtualization so it can build a host doesn't depend on Virtualization, and get a better &lt;SPAN class=""&gt;portability&lt;/SPAN&gt;)&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Version 16 does not support Windows 7 OS for the host machine.&lt;BR /&gt;To run without VT-x, binary translation is required. Binary translation was removed in version 14.&lt;BR /&gt;With binary translation, the guest OS could only be 32-bit.&lt;BR /&gt;VT-x has been around for almost 20 years, don't see why one would want to go back to using very slow binary translation.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3111872"&gt;@bluefirestorm&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My Vmware guest OS is : Windows 7 32-bit.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My Vmware Host OS is : Windows 10 64-bit, Vmware Workstation 16.0. I don't want to install and run old version&amp;nbsp;Vmware Workstation on my current PC.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My destination&amp;nbsp;Host OS is: Windows 7 or 8.1 without&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;VT-x (old machines), it shows "this host doesn't support Intel VT-x" when I run it.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;How to run&amp;nbsp;guest OS on old machines without&amp;nbsp;VT-x?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;What you are asking for running version 16.x in a PC without VT-x is simply impossible.&amp;nbsp;Plus the other thing that Windows 7 is officially not supported as a host for version 16.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As per my earlier reply, binary translation was removed in version 14. To have binary translation to run VMs without VT-x you would need version 12 or earlier. There was no version 13 release. You would also have to check which version started support for Windows 7/8/8.1 hosts.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;How old are the CPU? What is the CPU model? For a CPU to be without VT-x, it would be something from before 2005. These would even pre-date Windows 7 which was launched in 2010.&amp;nbsp;Are you sure it isn’t just the case the VT-x is not enabled in the BIOS?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;You can check the CPU model from the Windows 7/8 from the Control Panel - System or run msinfo32. Once you have the processor model, you can check the Intel ARK site &lt;A href="https://ark.intel.com" target="_blank"&gt;https://ark.intel.com&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I just recalled that some 2008 Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs don't have VT-x and possibly some older Atom CPUs. But pretty much anything from 2010 onwards would have VT-x.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This is a link to the E7200 CPU and you can see that the Intel VT-x is indicated as "No".&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/35348/intel-core2-duo-processor-e7200-3m-cache-2-53-ghz-1066-mhz-fsb.html" target="_blank"&gt;https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/35348/intel-core2-duo-processor-e7200-3m-cache-2-53-ghz-1066-mhz-fsb.html&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As to enabling VT-x in the BIOS of the computer, it depends on the manufacturer. If I am not mistaken, Dell uses F12 to enter the BIOS. Others use F2. The menu will also vary. So it is best to consult a manufacturer manual.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
