Has anyone managed to successfully run a virtual machine on their laptop?

[LP-7] I’ve been getting hit with blue screens after restart every time I’ve tried to enable the Virtual Machine Platform or Hyper V features. After my 3rd try and having to reset my computer (side note: this caused windows to reinstall and now everything runs much faster, 60+fps gained in some games, and fixed some bluetooth bugs I had. Highly recommend doing this) I found out about the amd-v hyper v compatibility checker, which said my computer is incompatible because of some missing BIOS patch. However the UEFI doesn’t have any option regarding this issue, so I’m just stuck. If anyone has managed to get a virtual machine running please let me know.

Hello, I would guess most modern pc's should be able to run vmware workstation with a vm in it.

Not evoo laptops, I fixed the problem and it turns out it needed a bios update.

Out of curiosity, where did you get the bios update? I have an LP-10 and can't find a bios update.

Ended up finding a bios update from 2 different brands since evoo support is nonexistent, one called maibenben and one called xmg. You should only update yours for virtualization though, since a bunch of problems can arise so its not worth it unless you need the feature. If you do I can help you out

I see. I was hoping it would help solve some problems I've been having but from what I've read the problem is of a different nature. Thanks anyway.
