    BIOS Setup
    « on: November 19, 2016, 12:58:05 AM »
    Hi!

    I want to enable my Virtualizition in my BIOS, but I can't because my BIOS looks different. I can't find any with a similar issue.
    I have a HP Pavilion. I can acces my BIOS, but it looks different.

    Here is how it should look like: http://prntscr.com/d95mqr
    This is how it looks on my pc: http://imgur.com/a/57iEV

    This is how it looks on my pc:

    That's the Startup screen. What happens if you press F10 at that screen?

    Just a guess - did you press the Esc key at startup to get to that screen? Try pressing F10 instead. Or tell us what model the HP is.

      Model is usually on a label underneath if it is a laptop, or on the cover page of the manual.

        When I press F10, it shows me a different BIOS. I took some pictures of it here. http://imgur.com/a/57iEV
        When I go on advanced, there should be a virtualization button, but there isn't.
        I don't know if this is the model, but I think I found the model here. It says Model No. 500-565nf
        My BIOS version is 80.05

        It's an HP Pavilion 500-565nf. When you wrote "This is how it should be", how do you know that?

          That's how it looks on others if you google it. Their BIOS looks different.

          That exact same model? HP Pavilions use a number of different motherboards and they can have different BIOSes. Post a link to a page with a picture (on the web, not imgur).

            I want to see why you think your BIOS screen should look like the picture you posted, so I want to see a web page that says so.

              It's on google. I just need to turn on the virtualization, but I dont have it.
              Here are some videos tutorials that I found but aren't working for me because of my issue.
