Solved How do I Enable Virtualisation?
I am new to the whole world of virtualisation, so am very much a novice and may need a little guidance.
I have downloaded 'Oracle Virtualbox', and have set up a Windows 10 virtual box, when I go to run it I get a error message, and on the side panel underneath where my virtual drive is listed it says 'Aborted'. I suspect the reason for this is because I need to enable Virtualisation. When I go to Task Manager is says that is is currently disabled. I know to go to the BIOS to enable this, but I have had a look and I can't find anything there, I even used the search tool for 'Virtualistaion' and nothing comes up. Any help is much appreciated. My Windows version number is Version 24H2 (OS build 26100.2454)

You need to boot into your firmware and enable VT-X. Consult your motherboard manufacturer docs for the process.

Thanks for that I found it now, I'm now able to start the Virtual Machine. I started the Windows setup and the following message appeared, how can I proceed?

I would start by looking at the log file mentioned.
I did have a quick look through it, but the file is extremely long and I don't know what I'm looking for. What possible errors could be causing my problem?

The logs should be time stamped, so looking at the most recent since you tried launching the VM, or simply delete the log and try to relaunch to have a smaller log file to review.

I looked through the log file and couldn't see anything in particular that could pose a problem. So I thought I'd run the virtual machine again and see what happens, to my surprise everything run perfectly fine. After the error message I got last time I never even thought of trying to run it again.So I'm now fully set up and running.
