Hi, I don't know if anyone can help but I have a Hoplite - AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Gaming PC from Overclockers:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk-gaming-hoplite-amd-ryzen-7-3700x-gaming-pc-fs-1dh-og.html
Basically I'm wanting to install VMWare Player running a version of Windows XP, but attempting to run the virtual desktop results in the following error:
"VMware error while powering on this host supports AMD V but AMD V is disabled"
I've looked into this and apparently the problem is that I have to enable virtualization in my bios settings, and also possibly mess around with a Windows feature called Hyper V. I have no idea what Hyper V is, or if it's safe to change the settings on it.
I've gone into my bios settings in an attempt to find virtualisation settings, but I can't see any reference to it, so I don't know if it's even possible?
I'd be grateful for any insight anyone may have. Please bear in mind that I'm not massively 'techy', or hugely knowledgeable about these matters, so would appreciate very simplistic 'Micky Mouse' explanations. Frankly messing around in bios scares the bejesus out of me in case I screw up my PC.
Thank you.
