x86 hardware virtualization

In its beginning, the x86 was not designed to be virtualized. In the meantime, both processor types, Intel CPUs and AMD, support hardware virtualization, albeit in a different way. AMD-V provides a more complete virtualization environment.

VT-X, AMDV

Intel refers to their hardware virtualization technology as VT-x, AMD as AMD-V.

BIOS

This command supposedly checks if virtualization is enabled in BIOS, but on my system, it failed with The property 'VirtualizationFirmwareEnabled' cannot be found on this object. 
(get-cimInstance win32_computerSystem).virtualizationFirmwareEnabled
This commoand supposedly checks if virtualization is enabled in Windows 10.
On my Windows 11 machine, it returned False even though I was able to run WSL and Windows Sandbox. 
(get-cimInstance win32_computerSystem).hypervisorPresent
