The community platform is in transition so it may be a while before this shows up again. Meanwhile, have you tried enabling a BIOS password to see if an Advanced features dropdown appears? Jack E/NJ

Most of recent Acer laptop models support both Hyper-V and VT-x* (not AMD CPU models), they are both enabled even if those options are hidden on BIOS.

If your laptop has an Intel CPU, you can check if you CPU/system supports virtualization instructions, using Intel Processor Identification Utility:

If your laptop has an AMD CPU, you can check if your CPU/system supports virtualisation instructions, using AMD Virtualization™ Technology and Microsoft® Hyper-V™ System Compatibility Check Utility

Devices using Windows 10 Home will need to upgrade home to Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise to use Hyper-V. Windows 10 requirements can be found here:

* If Hyper-V is ON, VT-x will not be available; Hyper-V must be OFF to have VT-x recognised by virtual machines.

 

Turn OFF Hyper-V

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

or
