Hardware assisted virtualization and data execution protection must be enabled in the BIOS

Docker Desktop for Windows

Hi

I have the following problem. Hardware assisted virtualization and data execution protection must be enabled in the BIOS

Now I know that first I must have Windows 10 Pro. So I upgraded from windows Home 10 to Windows Pro.
I donwloaded docker.

Then I ran a new task cmd . to open command as administrator

Ran dism.exe /Online /Enable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V /All
Ran bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

But it still does not work, so i am guessing that my BIOS might be wrong

so I ran wmic bios get smbiosbiosversion which returned 8TCN44WW
The motherboard is LENOVO LNVNB161216

Now i want to run docker, I can buy a later Labtop with windows 10 home and update to Windows Pro.
Or I could buy a labtop with windows pro installed and I guess the BIOs would be the right version, that is the most expensive route.

I fixed the problem I needed to enable enable virtualization in bios here is a very good youtube vid on how to do it

Then restart.

You might run into a second problem involving Linux not set up properly

It will give you a link read that but all i did was run the following commands

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart

and download and ran wsl_updatex64

Its all in the instructions for Linux

Then restart
