ASUS GTX 660 DirectCU 2 2GB OC - Virtualisation issues

[Protokohl]

Heyo,

I have a custom built Win 8 (NOT 8.1) standard edition (NOT Pro). I have been trying to enable Virtualisation. I go into the Graphical Bios and then advanced mode then advanced tab then CPU Configuration. I have enabled Virtualisation however when I boot up Task Manager says that Hyper-V Supported: Yes and Virtualisation: Disabled.

My laptop has Virtualisation enabled and in Task Manager Hyper-V Supported: Yes is gone and Virtualisation: Enabled is there. So why won't my bios allow me to enable Virtualisation?

My bios also has the following under CPU Configuration:

Intel Adaptive Thermal Monitor: Enabled
Active Processor Core: All (I have the options of All, 1, 2 or 3 yet I have a quadcore so where is 4??)
Limit CPUID Maximum: Disabled
Execute Disable Bit: Enabled
Intel Virtualisation Technology: Enabled
Hardware Prefetcher: Disabled
Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch: Disabled

Then at the bottom I have another area called CPU Power Management Configuration. In that are:
CPU Ratio: Auto
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology: Enabled
Turbo Mode: Enabled
CPU C1E: Auto
CPU C3 Report: Auto
CPU C6 Report: Enabled
Package C State Support: Auto

Thanks for any assistance

Protokohl,

I had a look and they are talking about Win 8 Pro, as I said I don't have Pro and instead it can be enabled from my BIOS as that supports it. The article also talked about servers and stuff which isn't related to me.

Can you post your build - per forum guideline?
