Can't Start Virtual Machine

Post by Starwind Amada »

I'm trying to make a Windows 95 VM on my Windows 10 PC. Whenever I try to launch it I get this message:

VM Name: Windows 95

Not in a hypervisor partition (HVP=0) (VERR_NEM_NOT_AVAILABLE).
AMD-V is disabled in the BIOS (or by the host OS) (VERR_SVM_DISABLED).
Result Code:
E_FAIL (0X80004005)
Component:
ConsoleWrap
Interface:
IConsole {6ac83d89-6ee7-4e33-8ae6-b257b2e81be8}


How do I fix this and get the VM to launch?

Either your computer's "virtualization technology" (AMD-V / SVM) is not on in the BIOS or Hyper-V is active. Go through everything in:

I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests

Afterward, this might help with 95: Tutorial: Windows 95/98 guest OSes
