I imported a VM from Oracle and tried to open it. When I try to run the VM, i get the following message:

VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot.

As it can be seen from configuration, the VT-x is available on my machine:

Can someone tell me what else should I do in order to be able to start he VM, please?

Thank you,

You need to Enable Virtual Hardware in BIOS.

  1. Press F2 key at startup BIOS Setup.
  2. Switch to the Advanced Mode tab then choose CPU Configuration option.
  3. Scroll down to the "Intel Virtualization Technology" value, and then change [Disabled]->[Enabled].
  4. Save Changes and Exit.
