I have a 64 bit AMD computer and was trying to install Virtualbox. However there were only 32 bit options for creating virtual machines. I googled a fix and it said to disable Hyper-v and enable virtualization. I went to windows features to disable hyper-v, but it was already disabled. But as for the virtualization, I couldn't find it in the BIOS anywhere.

How would I enable virtualization?

  • No it is not a duplicate; it is different – marsnebulasoup Apr 04 '18 at 13:25
  • Not different at all. The answer should be made more generic, but AMD SVM and Intel VT-x are equivalent features – despite manufacturers having different names for them. – u1686_grawity Apr 04 '18 at 13:27
  • There is also an answer that specifically mentions updating the BIOS and making sure virtualisation is enabled, which is exactly what you did. – Mokubai Apr 04 '18 at 14:09
  • @MarsNebulaSoup From the accepted answer of the duplicate, "For Intel x64: VT-x (Intel Virtualization Technology) and VT-d are both enabled", which is what you ended up doing. So this is indeed a duplicate. The community is a better position to determine if something is a duplicate. Three highly experienced users all agree this was a duplicate. – Ramhound Apr 04 '18 at 15:10

The fix was to update the BIOS, and then to go the BIOS and enable the AMD SVM/ Intel VT-x setting. Now it works perfectly.
