Hello,

I am not tech savvy at all. Per the advice of another website regarding installing WordPress, I am attempting to install Local by Flywheel to easily install WordPress. During the Local installation, however, I received the error. “Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: This computer doesn’t have VT-X/AMD-v enabled. Enabling it in the BIOS is mandatory.” I saw a couple of other topics regarding this but, as someone who doesn’t understand any of this, I am at a complete loss. Can someone please walk me through exactly what I have to do to complete this installation?

Thank you so much for your time!

Best,
Duffy

Hey Duffy

I found if I went to the BIOS Menu on my computer and I found that my AMD was disabled as was my Virtual Tech. So just enabled both of those and I have lift Off, Woohoo!
