Solution of VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system
Solution of VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system
“VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Certain guests (e.g. OS/2 and QNX) require this feature and will fail to boot without it.”
The solution of that could be enabling the virtualisation option from the Bios, the next image is example of enabling the virtualisation on HP laptop.

Connection processor and motherboard
Connection processor and motherboard.
The CPU is the brain of a computer system and process all computer instructions. It fits into dedicated socket on the motherboard.
Processors and the sockets used to connect them to the motherboard vary depending on the processor manufacturer.
A processor connects to the motherboard via on of two main connection types sockets and and Slots.
The modern CPU use sockets. A socket is a square bed of holes with a lever beside it. The lever locks the CPU into place once it has been inserted.
The slot was used by the older Pentium II and III families of processor connected to a specific type of expansion card that was inserted into a long, thin slot, similar in appearance to other expansion slots.
The category of socket are:
- ZIF: Zero Insertion Force: ZIF sockets are designed to reduce damage to pins by allowing you to insert the CPU with no resistance. A lever or other locking mechanism is then engaged to ensure proper connection with the pins and to secure the CPU as you can see in the next image.
- LIF: Low Insertion Force: Those sockets require that you use a small amount of force to insert a CPU. The CPU is usually removed using a lever or special tool. LIF sockets are less commonly used than ZIF sockets for CPU, nowadays.
