The computer's VT-x is not enabled.

Check the computer's BIOS 'virtualization technology' setting. Web-search for where to find it in your computer's BIOS.

Thank you very much, but I have not been able to install the VM because the setup (Bios) of my computer does not have the VT-x. This is a LENOVO M93p Desktop (ThinkCentre) - Type 10A8. I have consulted with Lenovo and they tell me that it is not possible to install the VM. Thank you for your help.

Use the 5.2 series, where no VT-x is required. https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_5_2
