Enabling virtualization depends on your computer's BIOS/UEFI settings. Here’s how to do it for different systems:
For Intel Processors:
- Restart your computer.

- Save and Exit:
- Save your changes and exit the BIOS/UEFI setup.
For AMD Processors:
- Restart your computer.
- Enter BIOS/UEFI:
- Press the appropriate key during startup (similar to Intel).
- Find Virtualization Settings:
- Look for options like "SVM Mode" or "AMD-V."
- Enable Virtualization:
- Change the setting to "Enabled."

For Windows:
- After enabling virtualization in BIOS/UEFI, you can check if it's enabled:
- Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc).
- Go to the Performance tab.
- Look for "Virtualization" in the CPU section; it should say "Enabled."
For macOS:
- Virtualization is enabled by default on Macs with Intel processors. For M1/M2 Macs, virtualization is built-in and does not require enabling.
