qubes 4

If I want to install gubes 4 on the notebook, then a window says
lacking features
hwm/vt-x/amd-v, iommu/vt-d/amd-vi,
hap/slat/ept/
rvi, interrupt remapping.

Only developers and power users proceed with the installation.

Can qubes 4 get installed on the notebook? It is only for testing and about getting familiar with the system.
Thank you.

Look in your BIOS and look for virtualization menu. Maybe under security. I myself am new to QUBES.....

You're right, it's lacking the features needed for 4.0 to work properly.
OP could try to install and see what happens, but it's not likely it will
work like it should.

From what I've observed over the years, Qubes works well on Sandy
Bridge (c. 2011) or later systems.

Another way to increase the chances of successful installation (besides
a CPU with the right features) is to choose a business model (like
Thinkpad, Latitude) from the big 3 brands: Lenovo, Dell, HP. I would
also consider System76 models since they design for open source
compatibility.

Of course, Purism stuff is compatible but they came along much later and
also cost more.
