    I am new at this... please advise me...

    I ran SecurAble and it gave me the results below:

    64-bit Maximum Word Length

    Hardware D.E.P --- YES

    Hardware Virtualization --- Locked Off

    My Processor is the Intel Dual Core E5200 @ 2.5 GHz

    I want to have the Hardware Virtualization ON for improved Virtualization by VM ware, VirtualBox, etc...

    Can anyone help me safely achieve this..?
