`To-do`

> As of now, Phyllome OS only officially supports host computers with Intel CPUs and Intel internal graphics card (iGPU). Other editions will follow.

## Enable hardware-assisted virtualization
For Phyllome OS to work as intended, hardware-assisted virtualization needs to be enabled.
> For Apple hardware, support for hardware-assisted virtualization seems to depend on you firmware version and your CPU model. Go directly to the `Make sure that hardware-assisted virtualization is enabled` section.

### Access the firmware
2021-11-15 12:00:07 +00:00
During the boot process, you need to press a certain key to access the firmware configuration tool for your motherboard, also known as BIOS or UEFI.
The most common keystrokes are <kbd>F2</kbd> or <kbd>Del</kbd>.
Hardware manufacturers could not agree on a common keystroke to access the firmware configuration tool, so please have a look at the documentation provided by your hardware manufacturer.
* **Windows-based computers**
