the flashing of the modded BIOS might not work because the recovery checks the signature of the BIOS file.

However, you might be able to enable AMD-V using this method (needs to be adapted): http://www.geektech.co.nz/how-to-unlock-...enovo-y700
This method requires Windows as a system as the necessary tool is only available for Windows.

First, you will need the tool: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4NHIBM...RtQXM/view
Extract the archive and go to the folder with the extracted files.
Then, you need to open an administrative command prompt in that folder (google it if you don't know how).
Execute the command from step 1 of the linked guide in that command prompt (H2OUVE.exe -gv vars.txt).
After that, you'll have the file "vars.txt" in that folder.
You need to upload this file, so that I can make the change.

For reference, here's the EFI-table with available settings for this notebook: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4NHIB...WI4LW14bE0
And here's the setting that needs to be changed:
0x1C40B             Setting: SVM support, Variable: 0xEE {05 91 54 02 55 02 54 00 34 12 EE 00 00 10 00 01 00}
0x1C41C                 Option: Disabled, Value: 0x0 (default) {09 07 27 00 10 00 00}
0x1C423                 Option: Enabled, Value: 0x1 {09 07 28 00 00 00 01}

Hello Sir, may I ask you to modify my file. It would be for an Aspire E5-523

Me to,

please can someone help me

Well for all people with a laptop like that I fixed it en I shall shortly explain how I did it:

( it is based on this story: geek story)

first download H2OUVE.rar

H2OUVE

extract that in a folder

start cmd in administrator mode

goto that folder and type in:

h2ouve -gv vars.txt

:

open vars.txt in a texteditor
goto
(about line 1550)

[034] "Setup"

and then change

            000000D0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00
            000000E0: 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 01 00 00 00
            000000F0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 00 01 00 00 00 00 01 00

into:

            000000D0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00
            000000E0: 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 01 00 01 00
            000000F0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 00 01 00 00 00 00 01 00

and change also

            00000130: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00
            00000140: 00 00 01 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 02
            00000150: 03 02 03 02 03 02 03 00 00 00 03 02 00 00 04 02

into

            00000130: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00
            00000140: 00 00 01 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02
            00000150: 03 02 03 02 03 02 03 00 00 00 03 02 00 00 04 02

then save it as vars_mod.txt

from the commandline do:

h2ouve.exe -sv vars_mod.txt

now reboot and you have AMD V enabled

Summary

This change is permanent across reboots as the variable has been updated in NVRAM.

you can check the status of your processor with this AMD tool:



AMD Compatibility tool

so good luck

Hello everyone.

I've been looking for days to enable AMD-V aka Virtualization on my PC. I've updated to the latest BIOS given by Acer themselves (Insyde v1.09), but couldn't find an option to enable it.

I'm requesting a BIOS that will work on my PC and will let me enable Virtualization.

BIOS Version/Date : Insyde Corp. V1.09, 8/3/2016
SMBIOS Version 3.0
BIOS Mode UEFI

If I Could also get installation steps, that'll be great. I'm new to this whole BIOS modifications thing and I don't wanna ruin my new PC just to enable this f-ing Virtualization.

P.S : Yes, my CPU (Processor AMD A9-9410 RADEON R5, 5 COMPUTE CORES 2C+3G, 2900 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)) does support Virtualization. Even Securable tells me that YES, I can.

Already tried going to the "turn feature on and off" ad tried enabling Virtualization.

So I guess flashing a BIOS with the option is the last working way to do so.

Or is it ? If you know anything that could help me avoid flashing a custom BIOS just for Virtualization/AMD-V, and just enable it, that'll be great !

Hi

Hi! I have the exact same model and in need of enabling virtualization/AMD-V. I'm out of solutions and could really use the help. I have the exact same setup and wondering if get a BIOS mod plus instructions? Or any help really with enabling this feature. 

Thanks!
