## Enable hardware-assisted virtualization
## Enabling hardware-assisted virtualization
Hardware-assisted virtualization is rarely turned on by default, even on computers that support it: it needs to be explicitly enabled.
The process to activate this feature requires accessing the firmware configuration tool for your motherboard, part of your BIOS or UEFI. This process, which differs depending on your current OS, is described in the following section.
> *Did you know that the Open Virtual Machine Firmware (OVMF), which is based on [TianoCore](https://www.tianocore.org/), is the default firmware for EFI-based virtual machines? Its configuration utility can be accessed using the <kbd>Esc</kbd> key.*

### Accessing the firmware
The process to access the main motherboard firmware configuration utility differ depending on which operating system is currently installed on your computer.

#### macOS-based computers
Hardware-assisted virtualization is a hit or miss on Apple computers, as there is no way to access the firmware configuration tool on these computers. Apple users can go to the [install section](https://wiki.phyllo.me/deploy/medium) directly, create a USB stick and hope that hardware-assisted virtualization will be supported.
