Problem

I have motherboard model: Asus MB P8Z68-V LX; LGA1155, Intel Z68 and processor Intel Core i7-2600 (LGA1155) Searches on the Internet indicate hardware virtualization should be possible with these components, but I am not able to enable it. There is no such option in the BIOS, I have also tried with the answer from this question but there is no path Advanced - CPU Configuration - Intel Virtualization Technology (the last one is missing) Can you please help me enable hardware virtualization?

Fix for: How to enable hardware virtualization on Asus motherboard

Low Risk

I have an i7 2600K and P8Z68-V LE. It should be similar in your computer. The hardware virtualization setting is located in Advanced mode->Advanced tab->CPU Configuration-> Intel Virtualization Technology According to this page, your i7 2600 will support VT-x and VT-d. My "K" (unlocked version) only supports VT-X (so Intel can still sell Xeons) so yours may look a bit different, but it will be in the same place.
