How do I find and enable the virtualization setting on Windows 10?
I am trying to install Docker for Windows. During installation, I get this error:
An error occurred
Hardware assisted virtualization and data execution protection must be enabled in the BIOS. See https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/troubleshoot/#virtualization-must-be-enabled
The link directs me to use Task Manager to determine whether or not virtualization is enabled. It's not, of course!
How do I find the BIOS setting to enable virtualization?
I can enter the BIOS, but I have to search around an awful lot...
Relevant info: BIOS Version/Date: American Megatrends Inc. 3201, 12/27/2016
Note: I searched for similar questions on this topic, but there were no solutions that worked for me:
- Virtualization BIOS setting Windows 10
- How to Enable Virtualization Windows 10, InsydeH20
- Enable hidden hardware virtualization settings
- how to enable virtualization in BIOS settings
- Enable Virtualization for Windows 10 Pro running inside VirtualBox
- Virtual Box 4 and VT-x enable settings

For certain BIOS versions like this one:
BIOS Version/Date: American Megatrends Inc. 3201, 12/27/2016
1) Restart the machine
2) During restart, press F2 or Delete to enter BIOS
3) Advanced --> CPU configuration --> Intel Virtualization Technology --> Enabled --> Exit --> Save Changes & Reset --> Ok
Now I can install Docker!

Please note that BIOS settings are highly specific to the make, model, and even BIOS version. Please rewrite the answer to indicate the specific make + model. Future readers will be able to extrapolate your answer to a similar answer with their hardware.
