title: Installing kubernetes on windows 10
body: <p>I am following the instructions on this page(<a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-minikube/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-minikube/</a>) to install kubernetes on windows 10. I have enabled virtualzation on my system and have installed virtualbox. When i try to start the minikube, it fails with this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;minikube start
  * minikube v1.9.2 on Microsoft Windows 10 Home 10.0.18362 Build 18362
  * Using the virtualbox driver based on existing profile
  * Starting control plane node m01 in cluster minikube
  * Creating virtualbox VM (CPUs=2, Memory=2200MB, Disk=20000MB) ...
  ! StartHost failed, but will try again: creating host: create: precreate: This computer doesn't have VT-X/AMD-v enabled. Enabling it in the BIOS is mandatory
  * Creating virtualbox VM (CPUs=2, Memory=2200MB, Disk=20000MB) ...
  *
  * [VBOX_VTX_DISABLED] Failed to start virtualbox VM. "minikube start" may fix it. creating host: create: precreate: This computer doesn't have VT-X/AMD-v enabled. Enabling it in the BIOS is mandatory
  * Suggestion: Virtualization support is disabled on your computer. If you are running minikube within a VM, try '--driver=docker'. Otherwise, consult your systems BIOS manual for how to enable virtualization.
