I am having Dell L401X with Intel i7 740 QM processor http://ark.intel.com/products/49024/Intel-Core-i7-740QM-Processor-(6M-cache-1_73-GHz) I am using vmware workstation 8 and trying to install the Hyper-V role in that. However, I am getting an error telling that my processor is not having Hardware assisted Virtualization and doesn't support this. Is it true that the above mentioned processor is not having that feature ? Or I may have to tweak something in the BIOS ? The Intel website shows this model supports - Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) and Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) Please assist. Thanks, Karthikaravind
