Enable VT-x and VT-d in BIOS

Hi,
I want to enable VT-x and VT-d in BIOS on my Lenovo desktop, which is having the attached CPU details, but I do not see any option to adjust VT, within BIOS\security.

What Lenovo model number, or at least the CPU in it?
It might not support them, in which case they won't be in the BIOS.

MT-M 10B7-A001HC

Any advice?

I can't find any details for such a model number. Do you have a more common description for the Lenovo Desktop?

Besides that, VT is usually not in the security section of the BIOS, but rather under CPU, or Advanced section. But of course it is also possible that your BIOS doesn't allow you to enable VT, or your CPU isn't capable of VT.
Thanks. this is what I want to confirm, and to know if the model is having VT option or not.
Then please post a more common model name. I can't find anything for the model you posted.
It is the model I can see, to the model.
I mean, to the machine.
On the Lenovo site I can find M-Series Desktops (m4350 and m5800), and ZhinkCentre M-Series (many more models, but nothing with m10)...

Sometimes the model type is printed on the front of the PC.
The above MT number is the one I can see on the machine.
Run CPU-Z and HwInfo, maybe those tools can give a better idea on your hardware:

Please see the screenshot attached. Thanks.

It seems to be a ThinkCentre M-73. Unfortunately I can't find any details in the manual on where in the BIOS you can enable or disable VT.

Mayne it is already enabled by default? What do you need VT for? What OS is installed?
