Acer Aspire E5-553 virtualization not enabled

Hi there. Started a new course and I am required to run Kali Linux in Vmware Workstation Pro. But the problem is I'm unable to power on the virtual machine. This is the error message that comes.

This host supports AMD-V, but AMD-V is disabled.

AMD-V might be disabled if it has been disabled in the BIOS/firmware settings or the host has not been power-cycled since changing this setting.

(1) Verify that the BIOS/firmware settings enable AMD-V.

(2) Power-cycle the host if this BIOS/firmware setting has been changed.

(3) Power-cycle the host if you have not done so since installing VMware Workstation.

(4) Update the host's BIOS/firmware to the latest version.

This host does not support "AMD RVI" hardware assisted MMU virtualization.

Module 'CPUIDEarly' power on failed.

Failed to start the virtual machine.

I went to Task manager->Performance->CPU. There it says Virtualization is disabled. Is there any way of enabling it? I'm unable to enable it via bios.

Yes but requires an unauthorized method (shown below) if the latest v1.31 BIOS advance option isn't visible. https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/6749?b=1 But before you even think about trying it, I suggest that you first try the Ctrl+S combo on all BIOS tabs of v1.31 to reveal any options that might be hidden. https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/6749?b=1 Jack E/NJ
