2. Gigabyte

In Gigabyte’s case, it’s usually called SVM (AMD) or VT-x (Intel) and can be configured from the Chipset or Advanced CPU Settings sections.

Access BIOS/UEFI Interface

To enable Virtualization, you’ll need to access your BIOS settings first. Press F2/Del when booting to enter the Gigabyte BIOS Setup utility.

If you’ve enabled Fast Boot and the BIOS key doesn’t work, you can use an alternate method to get to the firmware interface.

Restart your PC 3 times in a row to boot to the recovery environment. Then, select Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > UEFI Firmware Settings.

Locate Virtualization Option

Press F2 (if required) to switch to Advanced Mode. As mentioned earlier, you’re looking for an option named SVM (AMD) or VT-x (Intel) here.

Old UI

On the old UI, you can manage the virtualization setting from the locations listed below:

  • Chipset > Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x)

  • M.I.T. > Advanced Frequency Settings > Advanced CPU Settings > SVM Mode

  • M.I.T. > Advanced CPU Core Settings > SVM Mode

New UI

With the new UI, you can find the virtualization option in the following locations:

  • Tweaker > Advanced CPU Settings > SVM Mode

  • Tweaker > Advanced CPU Settings > Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x)

Enable Virtualization on Gigabyte

Once you find the virtualization option, all you need to do is set it to Enabled.

If your CPU supports it, you can also enable the PCI passthrough feature. AMD calls it IOMMU while Intel calls it VT-d.

That all You Are Done
