When is virtualization not possible on a notebook?

I want to do the virtualization of operating systems on my notebook and have googled how to do that on a Windows 10 Home operating system and came across this website

https://bluestackforpc.com/de/ https://bluestackforpc.com/de/-like-virtual-to-windows-108 / which offers with the AMD V detection utility to find out if it is possible to perform the virtualization on my notebook and this program writes that it is not feasible. Does it definitely mean that it is not feasible to use virtualization on a notebook, or should I continue to googling and maybe I will come to a different conclusion? Who knows about this?

Nonsense. Of course it is possible.

Take a look at VirtualBox from Oracle.

There goes Win, Linux and Mac.

For Android and IOS there's enough software online.

I wanted to do Virtualization with VirtualBox from Oracle Unfortunately, when trying to get this text this host supports AMD-V, but AMD-V is disabled.

AMD-V might have been disabled in the BIOS / firmware settings or the host has not been power-cycled since changing this setting.

(1) Verify that the BIOS / firmware settings enable AMD-V.

(2) Power-cycle the host if this BIOS / firmware setting has been changed.

(3) Power-cycle the host if you have not done so since installing VMware Player.

(4) Update the host's BIOS / firmware to the latest version.

This host does not support "AMD RVI" hardware-assisted MMU virtualization.

Module 'CPUIDEarly' power on failed.

Failed to start the virtual machine.

Bluestacks virtualizes Android operating systems and can only check your computer.

I'm not aware of any way to check a computer for virtualization capabilities in general, because the platforms for virtualization quite different ways tread, such as vSphere, VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, Java Runtime or common language runtime.

What's up for a laptop?

Well, that's just a tool.

Does your notebook have an AMD processor? It's very clear that if you have an Intel processor, you have to use another program. Are now very few notebooks with AMD processor.

That tests in hardware virtualization possible. Software virtualization is always possible, albeit much slower.

Does your notebook have an AMD processor? Yes.

The laptop is called LENOVO G50-45.

Pretty old that thing. Had at least one SSD retrofitted?
Search the BIOS for virtualization or AMD-V / SVN mode. Is disabled by default on AMD. Otherwise look at the links above.

Had at least one SSD retrofitted? No I did not.
