Hello, for the last two days I tried to configure Ubuntu 20 on Virtualbox, but because hardware virtualization (VT-x) is not enabled in BIOS, I can't boot my Ubuntu. Btw. older versions of Ubuntu or Virtualbox won't work as well. On Intel site, I checked if my CPU (i7 3610QM) supports VT-x and it does. I tried various solutions, but none of them worked. There wasn't option in BIOS to turn VT-x on, so I tried updating BIOS with new version, my old version was: E1762IMT.10C and I tried both E1762IMS.30U and E1762IMS.10U from MSI site and again, option to turn it on never showed up. If anyone could help me, I would be grateful.
