## Part 2 - Enable Virtualization in BIOS / UEFI

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: Windows virtualization is enabled by default. To check this, open **Task Manager** and open the **Performance** tab. If the Virtualization parameter is Enabled, then everything is fine.

### If virtualization is disabled, follow the instructions below:

1. Press **Win + R**
2. Type <mark style="color:$success;">**`msinfo32`**</mark>
3. Press **Enter**

#### Look for:

* **BaseBoard Product** → motherboard model
* **BIOS Version/Date** → BIOS version
* **BIOS Mode** → UEFI or Legacy
