Lab 1 -- Starting VM on window 10

To fix this, you will need to modify to enable virtualization on the BIOS. Please refer to this

For this you have to do the setting at bios level…

1. go to the BIOS after pressing F10 or as per your Laptop series/model.

3. Save & Exit
4. Restart the machine and go to VM and try now…
