Windows Server 2008 R2 HyperV

Hi experts.

I have a problem and I hope someone can help.
I am doing my own exam prep for 70-659 and I considered myself to be lucky to have this old laptop ACER Spire 5000 that came with 64BIT processor. I installed the Windows Server 2008 R2 server on it. But can not add the Hyper V role. I get a message that HYPER V can not be installed the processor on this computer is not compatible with HyperV. To install this role, the processor must have a supported version of Hardware assisted virualization and feature must be turned ON in the BIOS. What can I do now? I already spent money upgrading the memory to 2GB and now I have this issue.

2. I am looking for Windows Server 2008 X64bit drivers for Acer Aspire 5000. I can not find the video or the network card drivers on the net. Please help me with these issue.

Thanks,

I downloaded a new bios driver but the driver came with a software known as winSplash and then I start it and pick the Bios file ZL53132.WPH and click on flash bios I get this error message cannot load the driver C:\Program Files(x86) Phoenix Technologies ltd\winsplash\PHLASHNT.SYS
The driver has been blocked from loading. Error code 1275.

Do I need to revert the OS to Windows 7 32 BIT to update the bios? or is there another way to update this BIOS.

Thanks,
