How to Enable Nested VT-X/AMD-V in Virtualbox

Follow the steps given below:

• Firstly open the CMD:

  To begin, launch the Windows Command Line Terminal by entering CMD in the bottom Search field. When it appears, right-click on it and choose Run as Administrator.

• Enable Nested VT-x/AMD-v:

  To enable Nested VT-x/AMD-v, use the syntax:

  VBoxManage modifyvm vm_name> --nested-hw-virt

  As we’re activating it for one of my VMs, Ubuntu, we’ll use the

  VBoxManage modifyvm Ubuntu --nested-hw-virt

  command, as seen below.

  C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage modifyvm Ubuntu --nested-hw-virt on
• Finally, we must validate the modifications by heading to the relevant VM System settings in VirtualBox and ensuring that the check mark next to setup Nested VT-x/AMD-v displays as intended.
