Enable BIOS Virtualization on ASUS (Intel & AMD Inside)
Are you looking to optimize your computer’s performance and run virtual machines seamlessly? If so, you may want to consider enabling BIOS Virtualization on ASUS.
Virtualization technology allows you to create multiple virtual machines on a single physical computer, each of which can run its own operating system and applications. This can be incredibly useful for developers, IT professionals, and anyone who needs to run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
To take advantage of virtualization, you’ll need to ensure that your computer’s BIOS settings are configured properly. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the steps to enable virtualization in your ASUS, so you can start running virtual machines and optimizing your computer’s performance. Let’s get started!

BIOS Virtualization on ASUS
Since there are systems using AMD and there are users with Intel; I have divided it into multiple sections.
Enable ASUS BIOS Virtualization with AMD inside
If you have an ASUS motherboard with AMD processors, enabling virtualization in the BIOS can be a simple process that can be accomplished in just a few steps.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to enable virtualization with AMD inside:
1. Turn on your computer and enter the BIOS by pressing the designated key (usually F2 or Del) during boot-up.
2. Navigate to the Advanced tab using the arrow keys and select CPU Configuration or AMD CBS.
3. Look for a setting called SVM Mode, AMD Virtualization, or AMD-V, and change its value to Enabled.
4. Save and exit the BIOS by pressing the designated key (usually F10) and reboot your computer.
5. Verify that virtualization is enabled by opening Task Manager and going to the Performance tab. If virtualization is enabled, you should see Virtualization: Enabled under the CPU section.
Enabling virtualization can help improve your computer’s performance and allow you to run virtual machines smoothly. Follow these steps to enable virtualization in your ASUS with AMD inside.
Enable ASUS BIOS Virtualization with Intel inside
Enabling virtualization technology in your ASUS BIOS with Intel processors can help you take full advantage of your computer’s capabilities and run multiple operating systems and applications simultaneously. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to enable ASUS BIOS virtualization with Intel inside:
1. Turn on your computer and enter the BIOS by pressing the designated key (usually F2 or Del) during boot-up.
2. Navigate to the Advanced tab using the arrow keys and select CPU Configuration or Intel Virtualization Technology.
3. Look for a setting called Intel VT-x, Intel Virtualization Technology, or Virtualization Technology, and change its value to Enabled.
4. Save and exit the BIOS by pressing the designated key (usually F10) and reboot your computer.
5. Verify that virtualization is enabled by opening Task Manager and going to the Performance tab. If virtualization is enabled, you should see Virtualization: Enabled under the CPU section.
Enabling virtualization technology in your ASUS BIOS can help you run virtual machines and other software that requires virtualization support. Follow these steps to enable virtualization in ASUS BIOS.
After enabling the feature, you will either use third-party applications such as VMware or VirtualBox; or you will use a built-in application such as Hyper-V inside the Windows to create a Virtual Machine.
Create a new virtual machine, configure it, and do the installation of Windows. I have already done one with Windows 10 and 11 as given below:
