[AVX2] Windows 10x64 Pro Host Windows 7 x64 Guest (WM WS 11)

Basically im trying to make some windows 7 x64 Virtual Machines and seems Amd-V Is failing?

This virtual machine requires AVX2 but AVX is not present. This virtual machine cannot be powered on.

I try to install virtual machines with 7.1 and 15.0.2 and worked witouth any problem. But i want to use 11 Due to im testing some things.

Hope the name of that VM does not mean what it looks like ....
Anyway - we need to see a vmware.log from a start with the current config to check your vmx-file parameters.

Have a look at this post: Virtualized performance counters are not supported on the host CPU type? (2017, Kaby Lake, MBP)

I have not seen the error message msg.cpuid.guestRequiresAVX2noAVX anywhere else
