Im trying to speed up an android emulator using VT-X but there is no VT-X options in my BIOS. Even worse, my BIOS is almost empty! There is only the change password, which way to boot, information and a few boot settings (there is only 7 options in my BIOS, all Enable/Disable and no 'advanced' tab or options). Does anybody know how I could show that option? I have a Acer 5755-9674 (SNID 13717259616) with an Intel i7-2670QM (it supports VT-x) and an Acer JV51_HR motherboard. I checked a lot of websites and Q & As but I just cant find an answer. Thanks in advance.

You can only use VT-x if both CPU and motherboard support it. A motherboard that doesn't support VT-x is sadly quite common for laptops.

Things you can try:

  • If you didn't do so already, check if VT-x isn't enabled already. Just because there's no option in the BIOS doesn't mean it's not enabled by default.

  • Visit Acer | Downloads, choose your notebook model or enter your serial number or SNID and search for a BIOS update.

    You should find you SNID on a sticker below your laptop:

    If that sticker got lost or became unreadable, you can use this tool (Windows only) to auto-detect your serial number.

Newer Acer Laptops (I have the E5-571-58CG) and it came with Virtualization on by default. I think that it will become a standard to have it on in the not too distant future.
