    hello

    I have Hp Z 440 with intel xeon e5-2680 v4

    And 128 gb ram

    I installed windows 10 Enterprise 64

    And when I tried to enable hyper-v I found that I have to enable the virtualization firmware

    I entered bios and after a while I found virtualization option under security >> system system security

    But I found all the 3 options grayed I can't enable or disable

    So please help

    What I have to do

    A picture attached for clarification


    Thanks

    Hello,

    Are you on the latest BIOS Version for the motherboard? Ensure to install latest BIOS and then,

    * unplug everything (all cables, including power) out of the CPU
    * Press the Power button for 15/20 sec to discharge the PSU
    * Remove the CMOS Battery
    * Press the power button for 15/20 seconds
    * Then simply wait for 10 mins with CMOS battery removed and everything unplugged
    * After 10 mins put the CMOS battery back in
    * plug everything and start the PC to check

    If these two steps (Latest BIOS and CMOS hard reset) doesn't bring back the options, then there is a remote possibility of a faulty Motherboard or non-genuine CPU. You may have to troubleshoot this with another similar socket compatible CPU in this same motherboard

    Thanks.

    This processor type clearly supports VT-x. It should be able to access the virtuality options.
    I just want to emphasize, are you sure about the type of processor installed on your mainboard?
