Enabling Hardware Virtualization in Acer E1-522

DISCLAIMER: This is to install ArchLinux on VirtualBox to get rid of the x86-64 i686 CPU error NOT to boot up with ArchLinux.

As per the heading, I want to enable Hardware Virtualization. The BIOS my system runs on is InsydeH20 v3.7 and I see absolutely no indications on where I can enable Hardware Virtualization.
My task manager however says it's disabled, a 3rd-party software by Piriform known as Speccy says that Virtualization is supported and surprisingly enabled too.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I have come here after going through tons upon tons of forums and videos, all with no good news.

    as far as i know, AMD-V is disable on Acer BIOS and can't be modified.

    I see. That's too bad. If you could, kindly, point me at an alternative to get it working it would be great.
    Would flashing the BIOS work? I know the risks so I've been keeping myself from doing so until I found an alternative but with this conclusion, I might have to.

    you can only try to mod the BIOS but we can't discuss it in this board, there are better communities for that.
