A customer wants to use a Microsoft virtual solution on an existing high-end graphics workstation. Which of the following is required to accomplish this task?

Question

Accepted Answer

B. The motherboard BIOS must support virtual technology. The motherboard BIOS must have virtualization technology support (Intel VT-x or AMD-V) enabled to allow a hypervisor such as Hyper-V to run. Even if the CPU supports it, virtualization is disabled by default in many systems and must be toggled on in BIOS/UEFI settings. Without this BIOS-level enablement, the virtual machine software cannot access the hardware virtualization features.

Answer

A. The motherboard must support PCI version 2.3 or above to use virtual technology. PCI version has no bearing on CPU or platform virtualization support - virtualization is a CPU and BIOS feature, not a bus interface standard.

Answer

C. The CPU L1 cache must have a minimum of 1 MB to support virtual technology. There is no minimum L1 cache size requirement of 1 MB for virtualization - cache size does not determine virtualization capability.

Answer

D. The chipset of the motherboard must have digitally signed drivers to work with virtual Digitally signed drivers are a Windows driver signing requirement unrelated to enabling hardware virtualization technology on a motherboard.
