## 2. Enable hardware-assisted virtualization
Unfortunately, even on supported computer platforms, hardware-assisted virtualization is rarely turned on by default.
Unfortunately, even on supported computer platforms, hardware-assisted virtualization is rarely turned on by default. In other words, it is not enough for a computer platform to support hardware-assisted virtualization: it is very likely that it has to be explicitly enabled.

### Modify the firmware configuration
Unfortunately, most firmware configuration tool do differ, and the steps here might not be identic on your own platform. In general, the sought after features are found under the `security` tab.

For an AMD-based computer, you need to look for references to *AMD SVM*, AMD V or AMD Vi. Conversingly, for an Intel-based computer, you need to look for *Intel VT-x* and *Intel VT-d*. It is also possible that the feature will be refered simply to as *virtualization*. In that case, you may not know it refers to IOMMU-based hardware-assisted virtualization or not.

Make sure you enable these options and choose to *save and exit* the configuration tool, which will reboot your computer.
