Does a Lenovo T400 have the option to enable virtualization within the BIOS?<br />
<br />
I have just installed Windows 8 Professional on my Lenovo T400 laptop. The model number is 6473-E1U.<br />
<br />
When I try to install the Windows 8 Hyper-V feature I am told that &quot;Hyper-V cannot be installed: The processor does not have second level address translation (SLAT) capabilities&quot; (see the screenshot).<br />
<br />
I have heard that sometimes virtualization needs to be enabled in a computer's BIOS. However, I went into my Lenovo T400's BIOS and didn't see any option to enable this.<br />
<br />
My Lenovo T400 laptop has an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU &nbsp;P8700 # 2.53 GHz 2.53 GHz CPU.<br />
<br />
Is there any option within a Lenovo T400 have the option to enable virtualization within the BIOS?<br />
<br />
If so, how do I enable it?<br />

Does a Lenovo T400 (6473-E1U) have the option to enable virtualization within the BIOS?

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Laptops Notebooks

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
