    windows home doesn't support Virtualisation, you need the PRO version.

    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:
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/7838

    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
    http://download.amd.com/techdownloads/AMD-VwithRVI_Hyper-V_CompatibilityUtility.zip
     
    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:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyperv_on_windows/quick_start/walkthrough_compatibility
     
    * 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
    Open a Command prompt with administrative rights (Admin)
    type
    bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
    exit
     
    Reboot your OS
     
    or
     
    Go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features -> click Turn Windows features on or off -> un-check Hyper-V -> click OK
     
    Turn ON Hyper-V
     
    Open a Command prompt with administrative rights (Admin)
    type
    bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
    exit
     
    Reboot your OS
     
    or
     
    Go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features -> click Turn Windows features on or off -> check Hyper-V -> click OK

    PLEASE READ EVERYTHING

    Now, the virtulazation is disabled! it is not the hyper-v. i`ve runned "systeminfo" and the result:

     

    Hyper-V Requirements:

    VM Monitor Mode Extensions: Yes
    Virtualization Enabled In Firmware: No
    Second Level Address Translation: Yes
    Data Execution Prevention Available: Yes

     

    I have tried the hyper-v method, I even upgraded to win 10 pro! it isn`t just the virtual machines that cannot detect it, it is everything, even cmd. please not give me another hyper-v tutorial. Is there a possible way to get the advanced tab in bios. Well, if you could tell me that, I would really appreciate it.

    you can only try search with google about bios mod...nothing else.

    This is a very real and significant problem. My system is the Aspire E5-523. I have run the AMD virtualization utility and it clearly shows that virtualization is not enabled in BIOS but the BIOS does NOT give me a way of enabling virtualization. My brand new Acer with 8 GB of DDR 4 memory is operating slowly and ACER refuses to take reponsibility

    for fixing this problem. I do not recommend anybody purchase anymore ACER products until this problem is fixed.
