title: Are there any disadvantages to enabling Intel hardware virtualization in BIOS settings?
body: <p>I'm new to developing apps in React Native and in order to get the Android emulator to work I had to enable Intel hardware virtualization/VT-X in the BIOS settings.</p>
  
  <p>I'm a web developer so I was a bit nervous about touching the BIOS settings at first because I haven't done anything in the BIOS settings before, but I did it anyway following the advice given from this site.</p>
  
  <p>I just wanted to ask, are there any disadvantages to keeping hardware virtualization enabled? Is there any damage to hardware if left on? Or should it only be enabled when needed? Sorry if this seems like a silly question.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
