I want to check if Intel virtualization is enabled in my laptop or not (Lenovo Thinkpad, Win 10 64 bit). Is there any way available to check it without going to BIOS?
Go to the download location and double-click the file to open it. Once open, click the CPU Technologies tab. See if the “Intel Virtualization Technology” box is marked. If it is, then Intel Virtualization Technology is enabled on your computer.
Enable the Hyper-V role through SettingsRight click on the Windows button and select 'Apps and Features'. Select Programs and Features on the right under related settings. Select Turn Windows Features on or off. Select Hyper-V and click OK.
To check if Virtualization is enabled/disabled on your desktop/laptop, simply press Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys to open the Task Manager. Click on the Performance tab and under CPU, you will find information about Virtualization on your desktop/laptop. If it says Enabled, then Virtualization is turned on.
Under the Security tab, use the up and down arrows to select USB Security, and then press enter. Use the up and down arrows to select Virtualization Technology (VTx), and then use the left and right arrows to select either Enabled or Disabled. Press f10 to save your changes and exit BIOS.
First method – Easiest option- Check your Task Manager
If you have Windows 10 or Windows 8 operating system, the easiest way to check is by opening up Task Manager->Performance Tab. You should see Virtualization as shown in the below screenshot. If it is enabled, it means that your CPU supports Virtualization and is currently enabled in BIOS. If it shows disabled, you need to enable it in BIOS. If you don’t see virtualization, it means that your CPU does not support virtualization. Read here for more information.
