What if I don't have processor with Intel VT supported?

[askgupta]

My processor doesn't seem to have Intel VT support. I checked it by going to BIOS and I didn't see Virtulisation option there. It confirms that my processor doesn't support Intel VT right?

another question - what will I lose if I don't have VT in my laptop?

My ultimate aim is to run Win Server 2008 R2 x64 in my laptop along with existing Win 7 Home Premium x64. How can I do that? Can somebody please help me in this regard?

Thanks.

visit the intel website type in cpu type and in the properties there it will tell you if it supports VT or not, hope that helps

Thanks for your reply. I checked that, my processor doesn't support.

My questions is - is it a big problem now or in near future if I don't have VT support? Is my laptop outdated?

Thanks again.

hi askgupta, its not really a big problem it just means you wont be able to run things like XP in a virtual desktop , someone will be along shortly to explain better than i can, not knowing what your pc is ,i cant say if its outdated or not

PC is brand new...just purchased...hardware and other configuration is latest...I am just worried about this virtulisation. My ulitimate aim is to run Win Server 2008 R2 x64 in my laptop along with existing Win 7 Home Premium x64.

How will I do it since I am not able to create new partitions and Win Server 2008 R2 x64 is not installing on VHD. Please help.

Thanks.
