Hi Theva, welcome to the forum! 👋

Your Acer Aspire E1-522 uses an AMD A4-5000 processor, which does support AMD-V virtualization. However, the BIOS version (InsydeH2O v3.7) on this model does not expose the virtualization option, and there’s no official way to unlock it.

🔍 What you can do:

You can still run virtual machines using software like VirtualBox or VMware, but nested virtualization and 64-bit guest OS support may be limited.
BIOS modding is possible, but it’s risky and not officially supported by Acer.

If virtualization is essential for your workflow, you might consider using a system with a more recent BIOS that allows enabling AMD-V or Intel VT-x.

The Aspire E1-522 model does not have a bios Virtualization setting, you can install any virtualization software onto this laptop without needing to set anything, I'm using the Oracle VirtualBox on an earlier laptop the Aspire V3-571G and it installed and works perfectly, so do that with your Aspire E1-522 model laptop. Good luck.

To enable virtualization on your Acer Aspire E1-522, you'll need to access the BIOS settings during startup and look for the virtualization option, which may be under "Advanced" or "CPU Configuration." Enable it and save the changes before exiting the BIOS. The specific key to enter BIOS varies (often F2 or Delete), so check your laptop's documentation or startup screen for the correct key.

Steps to enable virtualization:
Restart your laptop: Power it off completely and then turn it back on.
Enter BIOS: During startup, repeatedly press the key that accesses the BIOS settings. Common keys are F2, Delete, F1, or Esc.
Navigate to the virtualization option: Locate the setting, which might be under "Advanced," "System Configuration," or "CPU Configuration." The exact wording might vary.
Enable the virtualization: Change the setting to "Enabled" or "Enable".
Save changes and exit: Look for the option to save changes (often F10) and exit the BIOS.
Restart your laptop: The changes should take effect after the restart.

Important notes:
The Acer Aspire E1-522 model might not have a BIOS setting to enable virtualization. If you don't see the option, you might still be able to use virtualization software without enabling it in the BIOS.
If you encounter difficulties finding or enabling the setting, consult your laptop's documentation or contact Acer support for assistance.
