Nested Esxi Virtualization

Hello Everyone,

I am new to virtualization and this is my first post.

I just bought a new laptop to create a vSphere 6.0 lab. Laptop model is Dell Inspiron 5559  - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz, 2601 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

I have installed VMware workstation 10 on windows 10 64bit machine. I have installed Esxi on workstation. I can install 32 bit vm on this esxi but unable to install 64 bit machine

Intel VT-x is enabled on Physical Bios. I am getting below error. I have read this article and my machine support intel VT-x technology. I am still unable to install 64 bit vm on esxi.

Error - Failed to start the virtual machine.

This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems.

However, 64-bit operation is not possible.

This host does not support Intel VT-x.

For more detailed information, see http://vmware.com/info?id=152.

How can i make this happen ? Any advise would be helpful.
