This article will show you how to manually enable virtualization on Windows 11 if you need to use it.
With Windows 11, virtualization makes it possible to run several instances of the current operating system as well as older versions and alternative operating systems from other platforms, like Linux. Additionally, you can enable other virtualization features like Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and Windows Subsystem for Android thanks to the support (WSA).
