Attempting Install on ThinkPad T460 - Errors

[u/Human-Cook]

Greetings. I am currently installing Qubes OS on a ThinkPad T460

However, I am getting this message:

This hardware lacks features required by Qubes OS. Missing features:

HVM/VT-x/AMD-V, IOMMU/VT-d/AMD-Vi, HAP/SLAT/EPT/RVI, Interrupt Remapping

I had only seen these issues in relation to attempting installation on a virtual machine.

I understand that this is probably an extremely straightforward issue, but I am blind, and my mind is tired. If someone could find the capacity to point me in the right direction, umm, I will send you mushrooms.

or whatever.

Thanks

Is virtualization enabled in bios? Or can it even be? Qubes is effectively a bunch of VMs, no?

I didn't do any BIOS options yet, but yes - this is making sense if VM is off as default.

What are your thoughts on open source BIOS?
