kubernetes – how to resolve minikube start error : This computer doesn’t have VT-X/AMD-v enabled. Enabling it in the BIOS is mandatory

Those “VT-X/AMD-v” are instructions that need to be enabled, nowadays, running virtualization software such as VirtualBox.

Short answer: as suggested by the error message, those instructions are unavailable. Either because the hardware is just too old, or most likely because those instructions were disabled in your BIOS.

In the latter case, reboot your computer and enter the BIOS. Dig through your BIOS menus, look for CPU options, something about VT-X, AMD-v, virtualization instructions, … depending on your motherboard, the name could differ slightly.

I’m not sure why adding “–driver=virtualbox” would help, considering your initial message already mentions VirtualBox was to be used, while suggesting to change this to “–driver=docker”
