If you happen to need hardware virtualization you might encounter what I have.
I went to the BIOS, changed the settings of Intel-VT to enabled, rebooted and VMWare still insisted that hardware virtualization is disabled.
turns out that a reboot is not enough...
you must POWER DOWN your computer after making this change in the bios,
only then will it recognize that hardware virtualization is active.
I hope this will help some one some time.
feel free to say I if it helps you anytime in the future.Publish Post
