How do I enable virtualization in Windows 11 Parallels?

Published in Computer Hardware 1 min read

You can enable virtualization within Windows 11 Parallels by adjusting your BIOS settings. Here's how:

  1. Restart your computer and press the appropriate key to enter the BIOS setup. This key is usually Delete, F2, F10, or Esc, but it can vary depending on your motherboard manufacturer.
  2. Navigate to the "Advanced" or "Security" section of the BIOS menu.
  3. Look for an option labeled "Virtualization Technology" or "Intel VT-x/AMD-V".
  4. Enable this option and save the changes.

Once virtualization is enabled, you can use Parallels Desktop to create and run virtual machines.

Note: If you are unable to find the virtualization option in your BIOS settings, you may need to update your BIOS firmware. You can find instructions for updating your BIOS on the website of your motherboard manufacturer.
