Explanation
In order to have a VM running on a system, the system needs to have hyperthreading and/or multicore processing. Multithreading is a feature that allows CPUs the ability to run multiple instruction processes simultaneously by creating virtual cores that will typically run instruction threads in parallel. If VMs are unable to load, you will have to enable multithreading. This might look like enabling "HT" in the BIOS. In VM lingo, this is also known as hyperthreading. I've discussed this question with several IT professionals and CompTIA instructors, and we all agree on this answer.
