How to enable “Virtualization Technology” in Windows Server 2016 instance of google cloud?

Question

I can't approach to BIOS setting while I launch a google cloud instance. Is that similar to "nested virtualization" which I keep on found ( https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/enable-nested-virtualization-vm-instances ? )

I tried to enable it by installing Avast and disable the "Hardware assistance accelerating", but it was checked again after I reboot.

Wish Vt was enabled and I can install HyperX. :(

Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

What is HyperX?

If you mean Hyper-V, then the answer is you cannot set up Hyper-V on Windows Server on Google Compute Engine.

ESX and Xen are not supported either. Only KVM Hypervisors are supported.

To enable nested virtualization for KVM compatible hypervisors read this document: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/enable-nested-virtualization-vm-instances
