Turn ON the System. Press F2 key at startup BIOS Setup. Press the right arrow key to Advanced tab, Select Virtualization and then press the Enter key. Select Enabled and press the Enter key.

The BIOS settings for Intel® VT or AMD-V are usually in the Chipset or Processor menus. The menu names may vary from this guide, the virtualization extension settings may be found in Security Settings or other non standard menu names.

AMD-V (AMD virtualization) is a set of hardware extensions for the X86 processor architecture. … By handling these tasks through processor extensions, traps and emulation of virtualization, tasks through the operating system were essentially eliminated, vastly improving VM performance on the physical server.

AMD Virtualization A. (AMD Virtualization) The virtual machine capability in AMD’s CPU chips. The AMD-V circuits added virtual machine instructions to the AMD64 family of x86 CPUs. Introduced in 2006, AMD-V was originally code-named Pacifica. See virtual machine, hardware virtualization and VT.

while it is true you should not enable VT unless you really use it, there is no more risk if the feature is on or not. you need to protect your system the best you can, whether it is for virtualization or not. VT makes nothing possible that was not . . . Read more

AMD-V CPU Virtualization goes by different names depending on the CPU manufacturer. For Intel CPUs, this feature is called Intel Virtualization Technology, or Intel VT, and with AMD CPUs it is called AMD-V.

Yes it does. You just need to enable it in BIOS/UEFI. It’s typically found under CPU Settings.

SMT is what AMD have on their processors as well as Intel but under a different moniker, Hyper Threading. It’s best you leave it enabled since disabling it can affect gaming performance. To add, you’re not going to see any benefits disabling it.

AMD-V capability also features on the Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 X2 family of processors with revisions "F" or "G" on socket AM2, Turion 64 X2, and Opteron 2nd generation and third-generation, Phenom and Phenom II processors. The APU Fusion processors support AMD-V.

It has absolutely no effect on gaming performance or regular program performance. CPU virtualization allows a computer to run a virtual machine. A virtual machine allows running a different OS than what is installed on the computer by using some kind of virtualization software like Virtualbox as an example.
