<title>Using processor hardware virtualization</title>
<p>To determine whether your computer supports processor virtualization
hardware extensions, and that they have been enabled in the system BIOS, run
the following in a terminal window:</p>
<p><cmd>gnome-boxes --checks</cmd></p>
<p>To enable Virtualization on your system:</p>
<steps>
<item><p>Reboot the system and open the <gui>BIOS</gui> menu</p></item>
<item><p>Select <gui>Restore Defaults</gui> option and then <gui>Save and Exit</gui></p></item>
<item><p>Reboot and again open <gui>BIOS</gui></p></item>
<item><p>Open the <gui>Processor</gui> submenu in the <gui>Chipset, Advanced CPU Configuration</gui> or <gui>Northbridge</gui></p></item>
<item><p>Enable <gui>Intel Virtualization Technology</gui> (also known as Intel VT) or <gui>AMD-V</gui> depending on the brand of the processor. The virtualization extensions may be labeled <gui>Virtualization Extensions, Vanderpool</gui> or various other names depending on the OEM and system BIOS</p></item>
<item><p><gui>Save and Exit</gui></p></item>
<item><p>Reboot and run: <cmd>cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep vmx svm</cmd></p></item>
</steps>
<p>If there is some output then the virtualization extensions are now enabled. If there is no output your system may not have the virtualization extensions or the correct BIOS setting enabled</p>
