    Thanks for confirming. What does VT-x means?

    Can you share the link on dell website for the mentioned model which says virtualization is supported?

    Appreciate your help :emotion-1:

    Virtualization support depends on the CPU - most of these are i5-3317U.

    There are different types of virtualization -- VT-x, VT-d, etc. -- not all CPUs support all virtualization modes (and not all versions of Windows have the same support for virtualized OSes, if you're running Windows), so you must also consider the version of windows you have.

    I think the processors are not matching;

    In the link I shared on my first post, it says;

    Processor

    Core i5 (3rd Generation)

    Variant

    3337U

    Chipset

    Mobile HM76 Express

    Brand

    Intel

    Clock Speed

    1.8 GHz with Turbo Boost Upto 2.7 GHz

    Cache

    3 MB

    And the link you shared says 

    Intel® Core™ i5-3317U Processor 
    (3M Cache, up to 2.60 GHz)

    Are both same?
