Your CPU does not support hardware virtualization
Your computer’s CPU does not support hardware virtualization, which means that you can only create Parallels virtual machines but not run them.
To successfully run Parallels virtual machines, you must upgrade your computer’s CPU (and motherboard, if necessary).
The following tables list Intel and AMD CPUs that support hardware virtualization:
