Unable to activate VT-x

Post by Gutchi »

Hello,

I'm using VirtualBox 5.2.10, and running a VM with Windows 7, and i need to activate VT-x on it.

As you can see here, i have activated the option in the configuration of the VM:
VT-x

But on inside the Win7 VM, it doesn't appear to be activated

Of course the VT-X is enable in the BIOS of the host machine. I have this type of CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5600U CPU @ 2.60GHz

Someboy known how can i correct that?

Thank you

There are more recent versions you could be using. The current one (as of writing is 5.2.18).

Nope, can't see. Image links to third party sites don't work. You should instead use the "Upload attachment" tab below the text entry box for replies and embed them in the image.

The VT-x feature is something that is used by the VirtualBox application running on your host to provide the hardware facilities used by the guest. You shouldn't expect to see VT-x capabilities being reporting inside your guest.

Sorry i have corrected my post.
You say i'm unable to see on the guest if VTx if it enabled, but why i see it on a vmware VM for example?
