I am having trouble starting up my VM.
Keep getting this error message:
This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not possible.
This host supports Intel VT-x, but Intel VT-x is disabled.
I have checked my CPU compatability for VT-x and have enabled the option in UEFI BIOS (VT-D) I assume this is the option to enable?
Hi,
VT-d is not the same thing as VT-x.
See this link for an explanation: http://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Overview_of_the_Intel_VT_Virtualization_Features
However it might be that it somehow is linked by the setting in your UEFI BIOS.
Note however that changing VT-x setting requires the machine to be power cycled in order to be effective.
In order to do so, for a desktop, just pull the power plug, with the machine shut down.
For a laptop you might have to remove the batteries to power cycle it.

Thank you for quick response. I realized that I was looking in the wrong section of my BIOS. Finally found the intel VT-x under CPU section. It's working now!
