Through this guide we will show you how you can activate or enable virtualization on your PC for Bluestacks or MEMU in AMD BIOS. Enabling this option will help improve performance, which could help when installing Android apps on your PC.
How to activate virtualization for Bluestacks or Memu?
Virtualization refers to the simulation of other systems within a computer. This process can be very convenient when running emulators or programs like Virtual Box. In fact, Bluestacks and Memu require this option to be activated if you want to have good performance.
Indeed, after installing the best lightweight Android emulator (Bluestacks) activating virtualization can help. However, this process will vary depending on the customization layer of your BIOS or UEFI. Although this may vary, if you are not knowledgeable, you can read the following guide where we will show you how to perform this process for both BIOS and UEFI.
Enable virtualization in BIOS
- For this process it will be necessary to restart or when starting the computer, in any case, when the computer is starting it will be necessary to press the “Del” key (which can also be F2 or another, depending on the computer).
- Wait a bit, after which the BIOS menu should appear on the screen. Now it is necessary to look for the advanced configuration options, to do this simply look for “Advanced” or “Advanced” in the tabs that are located at the top.
- Remember that within BIOS you can move only with the keyboard arrows and you access the options by pressing the Enter key.
- Once you are inside the advanced options, locate a tab called “CPU Configuration” and click on this option.
- Look for an option labeled “Intel Virtualization Technology” or “Secure Virtual Machine Mode” (or something similar).
- You should notice that the previous option is activated (Enabled).
- After the above, simply save the change made and exit the BIOS. In most circumstances pressing the F10 key will help with this.
- Once you have completed the setup, the computer will reboot and virtualization will be active.
Enable virtualization in UEFI
- Certainly there are several ways to enter the UEFI settings, but in most cases it is enough to restart the computer and press the “Delete” key (this key may vary depending on your computer, sometimes F2 may work).
- As we pointed out, the process can vary depending on the computer. In any case, we will try to offer you a “Generic” solution that helps in most cases.
- After pressing the delete key, the UEFI configuration options will appear on the screen. At the top you will see different sections, among them something like “Advanced” should appear, click on this option (remember that you can use the mouse within UEFI).
- Among the multiple options displayed, one will appear with a name similar to “Intel Virtualization Technology” or “SVM Mode” in the case of AMD. Just make sure this option is activated.
- Before exiting UEFI completely, be sure to save your changes, which in most cases can be done quickly with the F10 key. After this, exit the application, after which the computer will start to restart and virtualization will be active.
And so you properly activate virtualization on your computer. In any case, if you have problems accessing the UEFI Bios settings in Windows 10, remember that there are other alternatives that you can use.
Even so, virtualization will be necessary if you intend to start playing Garena Free Fire on your PC or run other programs that are demanding. For this reason do not leave aside this configuration
