Issues running VMware

I have an ACER Nitro laptop. Windows 11 Home

Intel VTX and Intel VTD are both enabled in BIOS. I believed this is important for virtualizations.

I downloaded a VM provided by the online class I enrolled and this is where we are going to do our labs. Unfortunately I'm having issues starting the VM, the first error is



"Virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT is not supported on this platform.

Continue without virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT?"

 

Then when I select "Yes" from another error pops out

 

"Error while powering on: VMware Player does not support nested virtualization on this host.

Module 'HV' power on failed.

Failed to start the virtual machine."

 

 

I did some troubleshooting using google but ended up still with an error. I'm already trying to fix this for 2 days but still no luck. I'm hoping someone from this community can help me with my problem. I attached some info that I think can help you in troubleshooting. Thank you so much!

You need to disable Hyper-V to run nested virtualization.

First , uninstall the Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Hypervisor Platform Windows features.

Then, in your Windows Settings , disable Memory Integrity/VBS settings : Windows Security -> Device Security -> Core Isolation and turn off the "Memory Integrity" slider

Finally disable any attempt to run Hyper-V at boot time - from a elevated Command prompt:: bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

Message would imply that you have hyper-v enabled, you need to remove this and also on my system I don't have Virtual machine platform turned on
